Cover art for Here We Are lyrics by Breaking Benjamin

I believe scars is plural. Anyway, great song. I think it's about a fight between a couple, and the different emotions he experiences. The first verse sounds as if he's sorry for how he is sometimes, but he's struggling to find a better way. The second verse, however, is when he is angry and fighting with his lover. "The beauty queen has lost her crown again" sounds like a sarcastic line, one that would go nicely with a sneer. Now the chorus. So here we are. Fighting and trying to hide the scars I'll be home tonight, take a breath and softly say goodbye The lonely road, one that I try to walk alone I'll be home tonight take a breath and softly say goodbye First part's obvious, they're fighting and trying to hide the scars that their arguments have caused, trying to act as if they don't care. The second pair of lines says that despite the fights, there's times when they still love each other. And the next part he's talking about means he needs to be on his own for a while. Perhaps the lonely road refers to the road to forgiveness? Seeing how many fights are never resolved, it's likely that this would be a pretty lonely road. So why are you so eager to betray Pick the pieces up Pick the pieces up.

So why are you the one that walks away Pick the pieces up Pick the pieces up Pick the pieces up Maybe at first, she was the one trying to stop the fighting, but now she just wants their relationship to end. That's just my idea of this song. but no matter how you look at it, it's an awesome song.
