[Verse 1] I wore iron like a crown You stood in the ash, unbowed I gave the order, you came close With blood on your sleeve and no fear in your throat I thought I’d break your name Thought I’d burn through every gate But you looked at me like I was still Some boy in the dust before the blade [Pre-Chorus] And I saw it then In the cut I made You did not kneel You only stayed You said, “Look at me” Like it was a prayer And my hands went cold Right there [Chorus] That scar left by you It cut me in two That scar left by you Made me see the truth I came for your fall Now I’m falling too That scar left by you Is where I loved you [Verse 2] I sent the black flags out You set the fires back Every wall I built around my heart Came down under your attack You took my crown and laughed Then you bound my wound with cloth I should’ve named it mercy then But tyrants don’t know what they’ve lost [Pre-Chorus] And I saw it then In your steady hands The war was a road Back to where we began You said, “Choose now” With your eyes on mine And I heard my life Cross the line [Chorus] That scar left by you It cut me in two That scar left by you Made me see the truth I came for your fall Now I’m falling too That scar left by you Is where I loved you [Bridge] If I write your name On the broken stone Will the dead who followed me Know I came back home? I was made for fire You were made for rain Somewhere in the smoke We learned each other’s names [Final Chorus] That scar left by you It cut me in two That scar left by you Made me see the truth I came for your fall Now I’m falling too That scar left by you Is where I loved you That scar left by you I keep it like proof That scar left by you Became my truest wound
