[Verse 1]
I promise I won't try to make new enemies.
I promise I don't think of ways to break your heart.
I'm just a dog chasing cars.
If I caught one, I wouldn't know what to do.
I'm just a kid chasing stars.
If I was one, I wouldn't know what to do.
Turn around, walk away.
Before you confuse the way you abused the others.
You say you're afraid of getting hurt, but you're the one who damaged me.
[Pre-Chorus]
The doctor says "You're a danger to yourself and a danger to others."
You caused the black in my soul, now I'll never smile.
[Chorus]
You left me scarred and bleeding.
Now I'm dead and gone.
You left me scarred and bleeding.
Now I'm dead and gone.
[Verse 2]
I don't need a silver bullet, I don't need a gun.
I don't need you to hold me, I'm already gone.
I'm on the right path to the end of my life.
Turn around, walk away.
Before you confuse the way you abused the others.
You say you're afraid of getting hurt, but you're the one who damaged me.
[Pre-Chorus]
The doctor says "You're a danger to yourself and a danger to others."
You caused the black in my soul, now I'll never smile.
[Chorus]
You left me scarred and bleeding.
Now I'm dead and gone.
You left me scarred and bleeding.
Now I'm dead and gone.
[Bridge]
It doesn't matter who you are, you just fuck me over.
It doesn't matter how good I am, I just get fucked over.
It doesn't matter who you are, you just fuck me over.
It doesn't matter how good I am, I just get fucked over.
It doesn't matter who you are, you just fuck me over.
It doesn't matter how good I am, I just get fucked over.
It doesn't matter who you are, you just fuck me over.
It doesn't matter how good I am, I just get fucked over.
It doesn't matter who you are, you just fuck me over.
It doesn't matter how good I am, I just get fucked over.
It doesn't matter who you are, you just fuck me over.
It doesn't matter how good I am, I just get fucked over.
It doesn't matter who you are, you just fuck me over.
It doesn't matter how good I am, I just get fucked over.
It doesn't matter who you are, you just fuck me over.
It doesn't matter how good I am, I just get fucked over.
[Chorus]
You left me scarred and bleeding.
Now I'm dead and gone.
You left me scarred and bleeding.
Now I'm dead and gone.
"Scarred And Bleeding is about how it doesn't matter what you do, there will always be people who hate you. It doesn't matter how kind you are, they will always treat you poorly."
LYRICS BREAKDOWN:
"I promise I won't try to make new enemies." (This line is exactly what I said to my dad when I began going to a Catholic High School.)
"I'm just a dog chasing cars.
If I caught one, I wouldn't know what to do." (This is a direct quote from one of my favorite movies of all time, The Dark Knight.)
"It doesn't matter how good I am, I just get fucked over." (This line is about how no matter how nice you are, people will still try to ruin your life out of envy or greed or god knows what.)
