"Leave a Scar" is the third track from Marilyn Manson's 2009 release The High End of Low. Its title was revealed on April 7, 2009, in a blog which described both it and eight other songs from the album.[1]
Music details
A blog by Metal Hammer describes "Leave a Scar" as "[bursting] open with drums, bass and a swaggering guitar riff with an additional high guitar lick that all subsides before you can grab onto it, as the vocals kick in. The track's mid-tempo 4/4 beats are slow dancefloor fodder and the pleading chorus "whatever doesn't kill you, is gonna leave a scar" are anthemic Manson par excellence. The grating twanging insistent guitar riff comes back with the twinkling and distorted guitar loop that again yield to Manson's vocals. His tone here in the verse is less emotional, but the short middle eight has his signature split harmonies using falsetto and harmony to eerie and evocative effect."[1]

Lyrics
Its not like I made myself a list of new and different ways,
to murder your heart.
Im just a painting thats still wet.
if you touch me Ill be smeared, youll be stained,
stained for the rest of your life.
so turn around and walk away-
before was confuse the way, we abuse each other.
if your not afraid of getting hurt
then I am not afraid of how much I hurt you
Im well aware Im a danger to myself.
are you aware Im a danger to others?
Theres a crack in my soul, you thought was a smile.
what ever doesnt kill you,
is gonna leave a scar
what ever doesnt kill you,
is gonna leave a scar
Im more like a silver bullet
than Im like a gun,
Im not easy to hold.
I'm moving fast and if i stay in your heart,
I'm certain that this will be the end of your life
so turn around walk away
before we confuse the way we abuse each other
if your not afraid of getting hurt then I am not afraid
how much i hurt you
I'm well aware I'm a danger to myself
are you aware I'm a danger to others?
