Scars

Verse 1 I’ve been knocked down more times than I can count Had the world try to wear me out Been left standing in the pouring rain Holding pieces they couldn’t break I’ve heard “you can’t” my whole damn life Watched doors slam shut right in my face But every wound, every sleepless night Put fire underneath this fight Pre-Chorus You can see the marks But you don’t know the story Chorus These scars ain’t something I’m hiding anymore Every cut, every bruise, every slammed door Every time I thought I couldn’t take one more step And somehow I did These scars are proof I survived the storm Proof I stood back up when I was worn I wear ’em like a battle cry across my skin ‘Cause these scars mean I didn’t give in Verse 2 I’ve carried weight nobody saw Smiled through pain and walked through hell Some days I was hanging by a thread But I never let go of myself They can judge from the outside looking in But they weren’t there for the darkest nights They didn’t hear the silence scream Or watch me learn how to survive Pre-Chorus You see the scars I see the victories Chorus These scars ain’t something I’m hiding anymore Every cut, every bruise, every slammed door Every time I thought I couldn’t take one more step And somehow I did These scars are proof I survived the storm Proof I stood back up when I was worn I wear ’em like a battle cry across my skin ‘Cause these scars mean I didn’t give in Bridge So here’s to every broken soul Still standing when they said you’d fold To every heart that’s been through fire Still finding reasons to rise higher Let them stare Let them see Every scar made who I am today Final Chorus These scars ain’t something I’m hiding anymore They’re the map of every war I’ve fought before Every tear, every fear, every hard goodbye Every reason I’m alive These scars are proof I survived the storm Proof I found my strength when I was worn I wear ‘em like a battle cry across my skin Yeah, these scars mean I didn’t give in Outro I didn’t break… I became.
