"This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin"

I hate, hate, HATE it when people play songs for me and ask if I know this group or that group....like it's a gawddamn competition or something. People do it to me ALL THE TIME! I'm NOT a music person, yes, I like it, yes, I dance all the time to music. But I'm not a collector. I don't have an iPod. I don't download music. I buy c.d.'s and I use a Walkman when I go for runs. I like music. But it's not my life. So, please, please stop asking me if I've "heard of this group", or "this song". Grrr.....However, yesterday this exact thing happened to me with one of my roommates, which I didn't mind because I ended up actually LIKING the song. It's by a group called "Stars" and the song is "Ex-Lover is Dead".

God that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said 'yes I think we've met before'
In that instant it started to pour,
Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across pont champlain
And all of the time you thought I was sad I
was trying to remember your name…

This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
Tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in
Now you're outside me
You see all the beauty
Repent all your sin

It's nothing but time and a face that you lose
I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose
I'll write you a postcard
I'll send you the news
From a house down the road from real love…

Live through this, and you won't look back…
Live through this, and you won't look back…
Live through this, and you won't look back…

There's one thing I want to say, so I'll be brave
You were what I wanted I gave what I gave
I'm not sorry I met you
I'm not sorry it's over
I'm not sorry there's nothing to say

I'm not sorry there's nothing to say...
