Story behind the song
The lyrics are based on Joanne Lee's testimony at the trial of Bradley John Murdoch for the murder of her boyfriend Peter Falconio. She turned to the judge and said; " It's lonely, being me."
Lyrics
Title: Scars This is the life that I have to live And the consequence is breathing. Helpless, evil, close to you, it's the guilty seeds of grieving. Take flight through the desert night, darkness is your friend. This is real life, this is not a dream Even night mares have an end. Scars on the out side, just like doing time Am I a fool or what? This is some one else's crime. Scars on the in side, the ones you cannot see All love endured for you alone And it's lonely being me. A crowded bus and I can't trust one person that I see They hide behind your paper face all reading about me. My privacy, it's a luxury that I can't afford to lose They shout my secrets to the world and call it prime time news. Shadows shatter a peace of mind like you would not believe, I'll be strong and wiser now, a little less na'. In the tabloid hell of kiss and tell, my story is not for sale This is my fight and I crossed the world to see justice prevail.
