Music: Ben Howard - Bones
carried so many masks
caught me and abused me in so many loving ways
You look at me with complete trust
now that you know I do not carry any of the masks that hurt
and betrayed you
But I still shiver and wonder and jump at the mention of another's name
unfortunately I have learned that
betrayal and self-deception can always find a new mask
a new name
when it follows so closely in my footsteps
- men that could never lie
find they can lie to me
- men that could never betray
find themselves betraying me
- men that always love
find they cannot love me as more than
a deep and close friend
And I always accept with a stoic patience
and self-torturous belief that I am choosing the higher ground
their excuses and lies
designed to keep me hovering and providing
that one thing they've found in me that they're addicted to
Strong men that in my arms
allow their weaknesses to live
Though none of this is you..

Scars
Betrayal and lies have had so many names in my lifecarried so many masks
caught me and abused me in so many loving ways
You look at me with complete trust
now that you know I do not carry any of the masks that hurt
and betrayed you
But I still shiver and wonder and jump at the mention of another's name
unfortunately I have learned that
betrayal and self-deception can always find a new mask
a new name
when it follows so closely in my footsteps
- men that could never lie
find they can lie to me
- men that could never betray
find themselves betraying me
- men that always love
find they cannot love me as more than
a deep and close friend
And I always accept with a stoic patience
and self-torturous belief that I am choosing the higher ground
their excuses and lies
designed to keep me hovering and providing
that one thing they've found in me that they're addicted to
Strong men that in my arms
allow their weaknesses to live
Though none of this is you..
