Scabs Over

[Verse 1]

You swore that they were it

One name on every page

Like you could trap the sun

Inside a small glass cage

Now all your texts are ghosts

Their sweater’s in a drawer

You’re staring at the ceiling

Thinking you can’t take more

[Chorus]

Don’t bet your whole life on one person

Love is just a lesson on the way

The world won’t end

Not this morning

The sky won’t fall

You’re okay

Watch your wounds slowly scab over

Feel the hurt loosen its ties

You’re still here

You’re still breathing

And the pain will leave your eyes

[Verse 2]

You trace the old sharp words

Like fingers over wire

Each memory a spark

That used to be a fire

But coffee still tastes sweet

The bus still comes at nine

A stranger holds the door

You almost start to smile

[Chorus]

Don’t bet your whole life on one person

Love is just a lesson on the way

The world won’t end

Not this morning

The sky won’t fall

You’re okay

Watch your wounds slowly scab over

Feel the hurt loosen its ties

You’re still here

You’re still breathing

And the pain will leave your eyes

[Bridge]

One day you’ll touch that scar

And barely feel a thing (oh)

Their name will blur and fade

Like letters in the rain

[Chorus]

Don’t bet your whole life on one person

Love is just a lesson on the way

The world won’t end

Not this morning

The sky won’t fall

You’re okay

Watch your wounds slowly scab over

Feel the hurt loosen its ties

You’re still here

You’re still breathing

And the pain is saying goodbye
