The Scar You'll Remember

Out of the ashes Out of the smoke When the fire dies down And you feel the choke The battle is over Did anyone win Just ashes and smoke Are all your left with When the words burn Like a fire that grows And smoke hides meaning As the choke takes hold You forget how it started Perhaps just an ember But the battle that raged Left a scar you’ll always remember The scar still hurts As you sift through the ash Looking for pieces Of the love you once had The smoke starts to settle And finally, you see The true cost of fighting Was you losing me When the words burn Like a fire that grows And smoke hides meaning As the choke takes hold You forget how it started Perhaps just an ember But the battle that raged Left a scar you’ll always remember Remember the battle Remember the pain Remember it started From words you said Remember those words That burned while you spoke Those words made me leave On that smoke, you will choke When the words burn Like a fire that grows And smoke hides meaning As the choke takes hold You forget how it started Perhaps just an ember But the battle that raged Left a scar you’ll always remember I too have a scar From the words that you spoke But my scar will heal While yours will still smoke When the words burn Like a fire that grows And smoke hides meaning As the choke takes hold You forget how it started Perhaps just an ember But the battle that raged Left a scar you’ll always remember The battle that raged Left a scar you’ll always remember
