about

“Usually after a break up, I get this insane amount of clarity from the benefit of hindsight and suddenly memories of the “sweet nothings” I had been told turn sour. I don’t know if you’ve ever experienced it, but I call the phenomenon “break up whiplash.” That’s what “scarz" is all about.
This guy used to exclaim how similar we were and left me wondering if he really just wanted to be in a relationship with himself. I didn’t know what covert narcissism was when we first started dating, but I think I know a lot more about it now.
This is a pretty angry song and it changes its mind a lot, and doesn’t quite know what it wants to be… it mimics exactly who it was written about."

lyrics

[Chorus]
You saw me running round your living room
Smiled said you did that too
Was I only there to humour you?
A reflection of yourself cos you can’t love no one else
Saw me picking at my bloody scars
While you picked at your guitar
Was I only there to humour you?
A reflection of yourself cos you can’t love no one else
no

[Verse 1]
I thought I knew you
Eyes rolling back in your head
When I blew through
Said we were peas in the pod
The same kinda fucked up
I wish I knew what it was that made you give up

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ll take a stab in the dark
Like you did, like you did
With my bleeding heart

[Chorus]
You saw me running round your living room
Smiled said you did that too
Was I only there to humour you?
A mirror of yourself cos you can’t love no one else
Saw me picking at my bloody scars
While you picked at your guitar
Was I only there to humour you?
A reflection of yourself cos you can’t love no one else
no

Better off without, better off without, better better
Better off without me x2

[Verse 2]
Cos you left our discord silently
and all your friends unfollowed me so
whats the story whats the feed you
post to character kill me
You keep spinning, spin on me
You insult in binary so
Tell me whats the disconnect
You broke me on the internet

[Chorus]
You saw me running round your living room
Smiled said you did that too
Was I only there to humour you?
A mirror of yourself cos you can’t love no one else
Saw me picking at my bloody scars
While you picked at your guitar
Was I only there to humour you?
A reflection of yourself cos you can’t love no one else
no

Better off without, better off without, better better
Better off without me x2
