Scars On My Back

I have scars on my back,
scars you left.
There is my blood in your hands,
the hands you have open.

I trusted you with my heart and myself.
I trusted you'd love me, always.
Now you're hitting me,
leaving me helpless.
Now you're telling me
you love me worthless.

I have scars on my back,
scars you left.
There are tears on my face,
tears that won't go away.

I have scars on my back,
take them back!
