Sometimes I sit
With a book in my lap
Right after I turned my skin
Into a bunch of ugly scars

Wounds heal with time
Scars fading back
Turning again
Into my forearm

All those houses we burned down
All those mountains we climbed
All those moments we lived
Lie painfully carved in my skin

Everywhere I look
That's all I see
You and Me
At least what we used to be

I look at my arms
And that's what I see
The cut I got from the fence
The time you fell in the creek

Whenever I look into the nature
I see
Those places where we played as kids

I see my skin and see them all
Wounds we got playing
Scars that have faded
Moments we shared together

So I rip it off
To make it go
This feeling
This ghost

But the wounds are healing over time
I can see the light shine bright
The ghost doesn't bother me as munch
The scars are fading slowly

I don't know if it was time or it was love
What I know is that its gone
Suddenly I'm not so alone...
