Scar Tissue

🎵 Hook (melodic pain – autotuned, catchy)

She said I’m cold — I said that’s just scar tissue (yeah)

I been broke so much, I don’t know how to miss you (nah)

You want a love that feel brand new

But this heart came used, with them stick-on screws

I gave my all, and they fumbled it bad (fumbled it)

Now I sleep light with a heater by the bag (by the bag)

Don’t tell me “forever” if you plan to fold

'Cause love hit different when your soul been sold

---

You say I’m distant — I call it safe

I lost too much tryna keep that faith

Every "I love you" feel like a setup

Every kiss like a goodbye dressed up

I done built walls outta pain and pride

Only let you close if you earned that ride

But you tryna heal me with empty vows

And I need somethin' stronger than “I’m here now”

Love ain’t therapy — it’s war sometimes

You want soft — I got chalk lines

Been cheated, lied to, left in the rain

Now I treat love like the block — pure game

🎵 Hook (repeat w/ layered harmony)

She said I’m cold — I said that’s just scar tissue (yeah)

I been broke so much, I don’t know how to miss you (nah)

You want a love that feel brand new

But this heart came used, with them stick-on screws

I gave my all, and they fumbled it bad (fumbled it)

Now I sleep light with a heater by the bag (by the bag)

Don’t tell me “forever” if you plan to fold

'Cause love hit different when your soul been sold

---

I ain’t bitter — I’m just guarded

Trust ain't earned with a pic and a heart emoji started

You wanna vibe, but I want peace

And the last "ride or die" ran off with my lease

It’s pressure lovin’ somebody that’s numb

I don’t flinch when it break — I just brace for the run

Used to dream of forever, now I just dream light

I ain't scared of love... I just don't believe the hype

You want roses — I give warnings

You want "good morning" texts — I ghost by morning

I ain’t heartless — I just play my role

When they love you in pieces, it take a toll

🔊 Ad-Libs – Verse 2:

“Yup.” / “Gone.” / “Sheesh.” / “You wanted honesty.”

🎧 Outro – echo fading, emotional vocal layering

(Spoken softly)

Scars don’t vanish…

They just stop bleeding loud.
