Lyrics

I went to see you in the hospital A murmur of voices floating on the hall A ceiling stain is always the same Is this your claim to a holiday You wear a smile like a frown Dressed in a hospital gown I'm confessing to guessing What is the truth about you The white sheets could be A beginning or an end To this bored, hard, life You were trying to make sense Of the accident The accidental meeting of hopelessness and fate That led you to this fragile state The weary of the world upset It's the living of your life you dread You're afraid to show the stars Who you really are And what you should be That your scars are who you ought to be They tell a secret history To others they don't show No one will ever know, but me Our scars are who we are, you see They tell a secret history On how you've been undone And how you've overcome, to me Our scars are who we are, you see They tell a secret history To others they don't show No one will ever know, but me
