[Verse 1] I traced the lines on my skin Like a map of where I've been Every bruise had a name Every cut held the flame I used to hide what I wore Like the hurt was something more But the cracks let the light in And I saw where I begin [Pre-Chorus] If I look close enough I can hear the truth in me Not the one I feared The one I needed to see [Chorus] Your scars are beautiful They tell the truth Your scars are beautiful They carried you through And when I know me I rise, I rise A newer soul Behind my eyes Your scars are beautiful (beautiful) [Verse 2] Now the broken parts glow Like a lantern in the snow What once felt like shame Turned into a holy name I was not made to stay In the dark all my days Every wound became wings Every fall taught me to sing [Pre-Chorus] If I let it all show I can hear the truth in me Not the one I feared The one I’m meant to be [Chorus] Your scars are beautiful They tell the truth Your scars are beautiful They carried you through And when I know me I rise, I rise A newer soul Behind my eyes Your scars are beautiful (beautiful) [Bridge] And all at once I see The pain was shaping me A butterfly from ash Learning how to last I don't want perfect skin I want the life within The mark, the break, the bend They brought me back again [Final Chorus] Your scars are beautiful They tell the truth Your scars are beautiful They carried you through And when I know me I rise, I rise A brighter world In my own eyes Your scars are beautiful (beautiful) Your scars are beautiful (beautiful)
