Scars
The Crane Wives
I'm not the person that I thought I was
I couldn't tell you where the ache came from
Maybe born in a storm beneath an angry sky
Now it’s raining in my head nearly all the time
Now it’s raining in my head and I don’t know why
All the love, all the kindness, all your best laid plans
Couldn't stop me from becoming the way that I am
You toiled on a bridge to cross the gap inside
But I couldn't help you build it and I don't know why
No, I couldn't let you build it, but God knows you tried
Was I born with a hole in my heart?
A fatal fault at the start
Tell me it’s inevitable that I’d end up with scars
I'm not the person that I thought I was
I'm trying to come to terms with what you’ve done
In the fumes of your anguish, oh my blistering pride
I'm still burning like a tire fire deep down inside
Oh, I'm burning like a tire fire and I don’t know why
Was I born with a hole in my heart?
A fatal fault at the start
Tell me it’s inevitable that I’d end up with scars
From falling down, down
We were always meant to fall apart
Nothing could have been done
Is that right?
Nothing could have been done
Nothing could have been done
Is that right?
'Cause I was born with a hole in my heart
Yeah, we were fucked from the start
Tell me it’s inevitable that I’d end up with scars
From falling down, down
We were always meant to fall apart
