Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah, he's a walkin' (Walkin'), talkin' (Talkin'), living regret
I wish I never met him, never slept with him, never involved myself
If I... would have known better
I... would have never stayed together with you
[Verse 2]
He wrong, so I'm gone, and I ain't coming back
Wish I could be vindictive 'cause I wanna hurt him bad
He wrong, so I'm gone, and I ain't coming back
Wish I could inflict something 'cause I wanna hurt him bad
[Verse 3]
And I'ma make sure I'm drop dead gorgeous
Every time he see me, so he want It more, more
And I'ma make sure everything is successful
Let him know he **** around and left the best he had
[Verse 4]
He stuck in his ego, he lost when he let me go
I was arguably the best thing that happened to him, he know
What I gave, he can't find, there ain't nothing like mine
Thought me and you was just us, I guess you couldn't man up, so I'm gone
[Verse 5]
Gave you everything, all of me
All my heart, now I'm leaving with scars
With scars, with scars, with scars
You could have kept the pain, my heart is slain
Nothing remains, no more but scars
With scars, with scars, with scars
[Verse 6]
Now I can barely make a standin' here lookin' in your face
Such a disgrace to who we were and what we had
Thought we was on it like Usher and both had it bad
Everything I thought that you stood for I'm takin' all back
[Verse 7]
He wrong, so I'm gone, and I ain't coming back
So tired of tryna figure out why this just didn't last
He wrong, so I'm gone, and I ain't coming back
My heart is hurtin' but my mind is sayin' leave his ass
[Verse 8]
And I'ma make sure I'm drop dead gorgeous
Every time he see me, so he want It more, more
And I'ma make sure everything is successful
Let him know he **** around and left the best he had
[Verse 9]
He stuck in his ego, he lost when he let me go
I was arguably the best thing that happened to him, he know
What I gave, he can't find, there ain't nothing like mine
Thought me and you was just us, I guess you couldn't man up, so I'm gone
[Verse 10]
Gave you everything (Everything), all of me (All of me)
All my heart, now I'm leaving with scars
With scars, with scars, with scars
You could have kept the pain (Kept the pain), my heart is slain (Heart is slain)
Nothing remains, no more but scars
With scars, with scars, with scars
[Verse 11]
Thought we was gonna build, thought what we had was real
Thought me and you was gonna have a house in the hills
Maybe 3 or 4 kids, Bentley's and drop Benz's
We was supposed to ride out and be best friends
But no, it all came to an end (Came to an end)
'Cause I refuse to go through the same **** again (Same **** again)
Ain't no more questionin' (No more)
Ain't no more arguin' (No more)
Ain't no more cryin', lyin', tryin' to put up with him
[Verse 12]
I gave you (Everything), all of me (All of me)
All my heart, now I'm leaving with scars
With scars, with scars, with scars (I'm leavin', I'm leavin', I'm leavin')
You could have kept the pain (Kept the pain), my heart is slain (Heart is slain)
Nothing remains, no more but scars
With scars, with scars, with scars
[Verse 13]
Ahh
We all go through it
So, everyone always wants to know
Like what goes on personally in my life
And where I get all my inspiration
I mean, I've gone through a lot, you know?
People that I loved betrayed me and, and I never saw it comin'
It was crazy and it's like, it leaves a lil' scar
You know what I mean?
But these scars are like little reminders that
You got through it and not to look back
I'm leavin' with scars
It's like a double entendre, I guess
'Cause you're leavin', your scarred
But you're also healed and you don't have to worry about bleeding anymore
You know, a scar, it's like it symbolizes healing
So, it's good that you got the scars and you leave 'cause you healed up
I'm leaving with scars
I'm leaving with scars
I'm leaving with scars
I'm leaving with scars
Said I'm stronger, yeah
