I wrote this thinking about my dad, he left my life at a very young age. Later in life when I tried to find him, I discovered it was too late. 💔 [Verse] I thought I knew the rules of the game What love would cost what I'd need to claim But the more I see the less I know The weight gets heavier but it helps me grow [Prechorus] Dreams in color but the edges fray Mountains rise no easy way [Chorus] Scars make us who we are Without the dark we can't shine like stars Through the broken land I'll find my way This bruised heart beats another day [Verse 2] I tried to cut the pain out clean But every slice just split the seam Denial's a lie dressed up as hope You can't climb mountains on a slippery slope [Prechorus] Choices tangle the road gets steep But I'll keep moving though the cuts run deep [Chorus] Scars make us who we are Without the dark we can't shine like stars Through the broken land I'll find my way This bruised heart beats another day
