Scarred for Life - Slapp Happy

Leave me something to remember you by

More than a lock of your hair

Leave me scarred for life

Show you really care

You can do it with kindness

Keener than a knife

Just by making yourself scarce

You can leave me scarred for life

We walked arm in arm with madness

And every little breeze

Whispered of the secret love

We had for our disease

Leave me something so I won’t forget

More than a nick or a scratch

To remind me than in you I met

In you I met my match

Nothing on the surface

I don’t want it to show

Something I can hide inside

So only you and I will know

You know I’d do the same for you —

Leave me scarred for life

And if we never meet again

For all the time we spent

Leave me with a tender spot

Something permanent
