Comparing Scars

 “I made it to my wedding two hours late
Church bell ringing in my ears,
 “Me and the boys were drinking
it up the night before
“Cheers to my wedding or my wake?”
Everybody knows the story
He’s been telling it now for years

Some habits die easy and some die hard
and heartbreak junkies love comparing scars
With a halo perched upon his head
He stabs the knife through his heart 
Some habits die easy some die hard

She say’s

…It’s all a bit confusing where do I start?”
Somebody please shut his mouth
She hates to talk about him, but she always does
“I should have killed that queen of hearts”
She only drinks when he’s feeling happy
He only drinks when she’s feeling down

Some habits die easy and some die hard
And heartbreak junkies love comparing scars
With a halo perched upon her head
She stabs the knife through her heart
Some habits die easy some die hard

Twenty-five years of not being together
No-one’s ever seen them apart

Some habits die easy and some die hard
and heartbreak junkies they love comparing scars
With a halo perched upon their heads
They stab the knife into their heart 
Some habits die easy and some die hard
and heartbreak junkies
They love comparing scars
