My name's Jacoby, what's your name?
Nice to meet ya
How y'all doing on my good side over here?
My evil side
Yeah
So, y'all know that everything we do comes from the fuckin' heart
You know what I'm sayin'? This music, every beat, every lyric, every riff
Comes from this motherfuckin' heart and these three other hearts
I love these guys
This next song, it's about being down at the bottom
Fightin' your way back to find yourself
This song is called "Scars"
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I cared too much
And my scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
Drunk and I'm feeling down, and I just wanna be alone
Pissed 'cause you came around, why don't you just go home?
'Cause I channeled all your pain, and I can't help you fix yourself
You're making me insane, all I can say is
Tear my heart open, sew myself shut
My weakness is that I cared too much
Our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
Tried to help you once against my own advice
Saw you going down, but you never realized
That you're drowning in the water, so I offered you my hand
Compassion's in my nature, tonight is our last stand
Tear my heart open, sew myself shut
My weakness is that I cared too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
Tear my heart open just to feel
Drunk and I'm feeling down, just wanna be alone
Should've never come around, why don't you just go home?
'Cause you're drowning in the water, and I tried to grab your hand
Left my heart open, but you didn't understand
Go fix yourself!
I can't help you fix yourself, at least I can say I tried
Sorry, but I gotta move on with my own life
I can't help you fix yourself, oh, but at least I can say I tried
Sorry, but I gotta move on with my own life
Tear my heart open, sew myself shut
My weakness is that I cared too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
Tear my heart open just to feel
Tear my heart open, sew myself shut
My weakness is that I cared too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
