Untouchable scars

You stare with pity in your eyes, At the wreckage of my alibis. You see the cracks, the faded bruise, Think you can tell me what to choose. But these are stories etched in deep, Secrets that my wild heart keeps. 'Cause these are untouchable scars I wear, A testament to battles I don't share. You didn't bleed the way I bled, You weren't there when I was dead And came back stronger, wilder still, So keep your judgments on the hill. You offer solace, soft and kind, A way to leave the past behind. But the past is woven in my soul, It makes me whole, it takes its toll. I won't erase, I won't deny, The fire that still burns inside. 'Cause these are untouchable scars I wear, A testament to battles I don't share. You didn't bleed the way I bled, You weren't there when I was dead And came back stronger, wilder still, So keep your judgments on the hill. Don't try to smooth the jagged edge, Don't try to leap across the ledge. My scars are maps, they guide my way, Through the darkness and the gray. 'Cause these are untouchable scars I wear, A testament to battles I don't share. You didn't bleed the way I bled, You weren't there when I was dead And came back stronger, wilder still, So keep your judgments on the hill. Untouchable scars... they gleam and shine, A history that's only mine. Untouchable scars... forever true, And they're a part of me, not you.
