Scars on my Guitar

I wish i could open your mind
And read your thoughts about me
If the 'hi' you say every morning
Is purely out of common courtesy

See if your brain contains
What makes my heart overflow
And if the smile you bare brightly
Is a sign for me to go

I wish you could see my heart
The flesh scarred and battered
I'd sputter out my perfect sentence
And ask if i ever really mattered

Am i just another pretty face?
Another plaque upon your wall?
God knows i want you to love me
But i feel that was never it at all

I'm just a lonely girl
With a bleeding guitar
Hoping and praying
To alleviate my scars
