About This Track

“Scars” is the second single from Papa Roach’s third album, Getting Away with Murder (2004), and seventh released single in total. Scars is considered to be the band’s comeback single, despite being unlike their usual work. It is their biggest hit, peaking at #15 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The single was certified gold (500 000 units sold) on June 6, 2005. The song, according the DVD Live & Murderous In Chicago tells the story of Jacoby Shaddix’s “Horrible night in Vegas that changed my life.” During live performances before playing the song Shaddix often talks about how “the song saved life.”

Lyrics:

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care 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
I’m pissed cause you came around
Why don’t you just go home
Cause you channel all your pain
And I can’t help you fix yourself
You’re making me insane
All I can say is

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

I tried to help you once
Against my own advice
I 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

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

I’m drunk and I’m feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
You shouldn’t ever come around

    Saw Papa Roach live in Puerto Rico in 2006. They played this song in Spanish! Jacoby is a great frontman, he puts on a great show! My favorite from them BTW.
