歌詞

I used to tense up when you came close

You noticed before I said anything

Your hand stayed where it was

I remember that

We could spend a whole night talking

Then get annoyed before breakfast

Once I went home still mad at you

Called from the cab ten minutes later

Some of those nights were beautiful

Some were just long

Tender scars

I can feel where you've been

Not enough to pull me backward

Enough to know it was real

Tender scars

Some things don't leave clean

I loved you without holding back

I'd do that part again

The last few months weren't very good

We both knew more than we admitted

You stopped asking certain questions

I stopped waiting for them

There wasn't one terrible night

We simply ran out of ways to stay

I hated that for quite a while

Some days I probably still do

Your birthday crossed my mind last week

I nearly missed the train

Tender scars

I can feel where you've been

Not enough to pull me backward

Enough to know it was real

Tender scars

Some things don't leave clean

I loved you without holding back

I'd do that part again

August was good

I remember that much

That little place was too expensive

You ordered another bottle anyway

I don't remember what we talked about

Just getting home very late

There are worse things to have

From somebody who's gone

Tender scars

I can feel where you've been

Not enough to pull me backward

Enough to know it was real

Tender scars

Some things don't leave clean

I loved you without holding back

I'd do that part again
