lyrics

I'm stuck in a wall
Barely able to breathe
Or let alone crawl away

I'm stuck here with you
And you're not gonna leave
Is there something that you'd like to say?

Pretending the past was wiped away
Living lies of convenience every day
I wear my scars like precious stones
But I won’t do it alone

Come on and show me your scars
Show me the ugly parts of you
Show me the parts you hate the most
What’s the one thing you'd never do?

You've made things nice for yourself
And left me in the dust
But I won't stay on the shelf for long

The walls are closing in
So just do what you must
The air's getting thin — what's wrong

With letting your demons all hang out
Leave it all on the table so there's no doubt
Of where you stand or who you are
Lies won't get you that far

Come on and show me your scars
Show me the ugly parts of you
Show me the parts you hate the most
What’s the one thing you'd never do?

Diamonds are forever, so are scars
(Words are a weapon, be careful how you use ‘em)
Diamonds are forever, so are scars
(Words are a weapon, be careful how you use ‘em)

Scars are like diamonds, so let yours shine
If you'll show me yours, I'll show you mine
The dark is for schmucks who can't take the heat
Tell all your secrets to me

Come on and show me your scars
Show me the ugly parts of you
Show me the parts you hate the most
What’s the one thing you'd never do?
