Built from Both

[Verse 1] I wear my scars like rings Proof I was here Some were made by my hands Some came from fear I held my head too low I held it too high Learned how to lose my way Then learned to survive [Pre-Chorus] And every wrong turn Left a mark on me Every hard night Gave me eyes to see I am the sum Of what I broke And what I built And what I know [Chorus] Built from both, built from both The good, the bad, I hold them close Built from both, built from both Every scar became a road I can help somebody now With the truth I carry home Built from both, built from both That’s the story I’ll call my own [Verse 2] I’ve done things I regret I’ve done things I’m proud I’ve stood in the wreckage And still made it out The kindest thing I can do Is tell it plain That pain can teach a soul How to change [Pre-Chorus] And every lost fight Showed me what I need Every tear line Grew a little seed I am the sum Of what I broke And what I built And what I know [Chorus] Built from both, built from both The good, the bad, I hold them close Built from both, built from both Every scar became a road I can help somebody now With the truth I carry home Built from both, built from both That’s the story I’ll call my own [Bridge] If you need a hand I know the shape of hurt If you need a light I know where hope is first I won’t hide the dark I won’t fake the gold I learned from every fall Now I can be whole [Final Chorus] Built from both, built from both The good, the bad, I hold them close Built from both, built from both Every scar became a road I can help somebody now With the truth I carry home Built from both, built from both That’s the story I’ll call my own
