Secondhand Scars Lyrics – Citizen Soldier

Secondhand Scars Lyrics

[Intro]
Empathy’s a warrant, compassion is tired
All of my virtues are fueled for your fire
Kindness is torn, patience’s a liar
All of my virtues are fueled for your fire

[Verse 1]
I know life ain’t fair to you
I know the hell it’s put you through
But it’s me that’s black and blue
I feel it too, I feel it too
I know your trauma’s take a toll
I know destruction’s how you cope
But it’s me you’re cutting through
I feel it too, I feel it too

[Pre-Chorus]
Blood trail walking in your shoes
Two necks hanging in one noose
Can’t breathe ’till I cut you loose

[Chorus]
Loving you might break me
Caring makes me crazy
‘Cause I’m gonna drown in your dark
If I wear your secondhand scars
Promises of changing, toxic and contagious
This crutch is falling apart
I can’t wear your secondhand scars

[Verse 2]
I know you can’t control the past
I know thе die’s already cast
A sicken you didn’t choosе
I feel it too, I feel it too

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve held on until my fingers bleed
And breakdown to give you everything
But who’s gonna take care of me?

[Chorus]
Loving you might break me
Caring makes me crazy
‘Cause I’m gonna drown in your dark
If I wear your secondhand scars
Promises of changing, toxic and contagious
This crutch is falling apart
I can’t wear your secondhand scars

[Bridge]
Empathy’s a warrant, compassion is tired
All of my virtues are fueled for your fire
Kindness is torn, patience’s a liar
All of my virtues are fueled for your fire
[Breakdown]

[Pre-Chorus]
All of my virtues are fueled for your fire
All of my virtues are fueled for your fire

[Chorus]
Loving you might break me
Caring makes me crazy
‘Cause I’m gonna drown in your dark
If I wear your secondhand scars
Promises of changing, toxic and contagious
This badge is breaking my heart
I can’t wear your secondhand scars

[Outro]
Secondhand scars
