I had a scar before I met you.

I’d already been cut.

I’d already been broke.

I’d already felt bent.

Really, even before I broke, I felt like I’d missed something I never had. I’m still trying to find what goes there.

I swear I’ve been here before,

There’s a war in my heart,

Inside my chest is a thorn,

It’s been torn from the start.

The picture painted is warped,

The hearts aching and scarred,

Music’s the band aid,

I’m too afraid to take this sh** off.

- Macklemore, ‘Fallin’
