While Scars Below the Surface

While scars below the surface 
Cut deeper
Then knives are ever expected to do
I would go to the ends of the earth
To see that you were through
I know this is getting dark
And I know you think I’m not alright
I see that things are changing
In the face of the cold, moonlight
I know
I see from time to time
That people are people, too
I see from time to time
That I can’t change you
