Permanent Scars - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Those pretty lies, I know them all too well

The quiet violence I brought upon myself

Gone with the wind but somehow I'm not convinced

About your innocence

I've made mistakes but you know you've made some too

It's not black and white, that's why I feel so blue

Inside and I try to pretend it's not 'bout you (Not 'bout you)

We both know that ain't true and

Oh, God knows that there are days where you don't cross my mind

I hold my own, and then there's the long, lonely nights

Where it's just everything you said in my head on repeat and I

Just can't let it rest, silhouettes on the street at night

Like you never left, but you did, and I made it this far

Just know you left a permanent scar

I still run faster to keep from drifting slow

Into the places I know I shouldn't go

Nobody is laughing but you would've loved that joke

I just know

And please believe that there are days where you don't cross my mind

I hold my own, and then there's the long, lonely nights

Where it's just everything you said in my head on repeat and I

Just can't let it rest, silhouettes on the street at night

Like you never left, but you did, and I made it this far

Just know you left a permanent scar

Inside my chest, now the rest of us is history

Look at all this mess that you left, unsolved mysteries

Did you try your best? 'Cause I did, and I made it this far

Just know you left a permanent scar

(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)

You left a permanent scar

(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)

Now it's just everything you said in my head on repeat and I

Just can't let it rest, silhouettes on the street at night

Like you never left, but you did, and I made it this far

Just know you left a permanent scar
