Surface Scratches
Her dad was a drifter who never left home
Lived his life for his family, but he always felt alone
And I see her face in my lonely mind's eye
The secrets of her self betrayed in a lie
It's just a classroom with a distance in between
The surface scratches never seen
It's a tattoo on her heart, just beneath her skin
Says love is unconditional, if she ever lets you in
I see them cards, they're all around your heart
You'll buy the lie with the pretty feathers on a poison dart
It's just a classroom with a distance in between
The surface scratches never seen
Her dad was a drifter who never left home
Lived his life for his family, but he always felt alone
And I see her face in my lonely mind's eye
The secrets of her self betrayed in a lie
It's just a classroom with a distance in between
The surface scratches never seen
Lived his life for his family, but he always felt alone
And I see her face in my lonely mind's eye
The secrets of her self betrayed in a lie
It's just a classroom with a distance in between
The surface scratches never seen
It's a tattoo on her heart, just beneath her skin
Says love is unconditional, if she ever lets you in
I see them cards, they're all around your heart
You'll buy the lie with the pretty feathers on a poison dart
It's just a classroom with a distance in between
The surface scratches never seen
Her dad was a drifter who never left home
Lived his life for his family, but he always felt alone
And I see her face in my lonely mind's eye
The secrets of her self betrayed in a lie
It's just a classroom with a distance in between
