Well, maybe I'm a little distant
Lost deep in poetry and rhyme
Sometimes love defies expression
Can't find the words, can't get 'em out
Sometimes I wanna tell you how I'd be
Without you sleeping by my side tonight

[Chorus]
I'd be counting scars
I'd be counting scars
I'd be counting scars
I'd be counting scars

So here I am, no words to fight with
Naked in the open, baring my soul for you to see
I know at times that I frustrate you, I don't mean to
Without your love, I'd rather die
Sometimes the world seems dark and grey
And I would wither without your shining light

[Chorus]
I'd be counting scars
I'd be counting scars
I'd be counting scars
I'd be counting scars

To live without your love would surely tear me apart
And I would sooner be a prisoner than a millionaire
And see you walk away
Yeah, I'd sooner be expired than alone

[Chorus]
I'd be counting scars
I'd be counting scars
I'd be counting scars
I'd be counting scars
