SCARS ON MY HEART
V1
These old scars
Don’t hurt to the touch
These naked scars
Don’t mean too much
But there are scars
Buried deep inside
The scars you put on my heart
I can’t hide
V2
They make me mad
They make me mean
They make me sadder
Than a scorned queen
They make me cringe
They make me angry
I come unhinged, I fall apart
I go crazy
[Chorus]
These scars on my heart
Sometimes they ooze
For all the world to see
These scars on my heart
Get so confused
And I lose all dignity
V3
A fine collection
From family
A recollection
Of misery
Abandonment
Love gone bad
In a song, scars on my heart
Don’t seem so sad
[Chorus]
These scars on my heart
Sometimes they ooze
For all the world to see
These scars on my heart
Get so confused
And I lose all dignity
mm-mmm, mm-mmm…..
These scars on my heart
Get so confused
And I lose all dignity
V4/Tag
Sorting them out
Is hard to do
No shrink can do it
Nor can you
I’ll go to my grave
Bearing these scars
I’m a slave
To these scars on my heart
I’m a slave
To these scars on my heart.

I saw a guy yesterday and took a picture of his shirt, on the back were these words.
My scars tell a story
They are a reminder of times
When life tried to break me
But failed.
I took a picture of it because I thought that's a good idea for a song, and today I open the page and hear the song I had in mind. I really like the lyrics, it's definitely a song that will resonate with anyone old enough to own those scars.

V3 is my favorite from a songwriting perspective.
I like the chord change for the chorus too.
You might consider:
Get so confused → Get me so confused
And I lose all dignity → And I lose all my dignity

I must say, when I first read the lyrics, I wasn't impressed with a bunch of lines and a one word change, read like sugar
bread
dozen eggs
Was I wrong! On listening to the song I was impressed. Your performance carried the words wonderfully.
Well done, enjoyed it a lot.
