I've got scars that I left behind
I've got scars that stay in my mind
I've got scars that are on my body
I've got scars that I left behind
I got scarred when the path was hard
Dealing with trouble that remains in the dark
I've got scars that have been left behind
You leave a scar, mental scar that is in your mind
Some were left, but some were given
Some were jealous and non-forgiven
When you remember what you left behind
You leave a scar, mental scar that is in your mind
Yeah!
I wish the past would go away
Pain is gone, but the scars remain
I miss the friends that I've left behind
Scars are gone from my body, but they are in my mind
I've got scars, mental scars have been left behind
Some scars you cannot hide
Like the stab in my heart, I cried
When a friend sticks a knife in your back
Scars are gone from my body but they are in my mind
I've got scars, mental scars have been left behind
I miss some friends that I've left behind
I miss the sanity that's gone in my mind
Lord, I must keep moving forward, and I might look back
To the past, to the past, a past that was good
Scars are gone from my body but they are in my mind
I've got scars, mental scars have been left behind
Oh!
