[Verse 1] I tried to cover it, but the mark still shows, Told myself it faded, but everybody knows. The silence echoes louder than the pain I hide, I smile in the mirror, but it’s breaking inside. But here with you, I don’t feel so small, You say you’re weak, but you carried it all. I’ve been running from change, but I think I can change, If you’re standing right here by my side. [Chorus] Why does the scar burn every time I let it show? Why does it hurt less when it’s you who wants to know? All the secrets that keep me in chains, and All the damage that made me feel dangerous. You got your darkness, I’ve got mine too, What if our scars could lead us through? We can’t heal it if we never face it, What if together we could escape it? [Post-Chorus] We are scars, scars, We can’t heal it if we never face it. Turn the pain to a strength ‘til it’s weightless. [Verse 2] Ooh, time goes on, but it don’t erase, Every wound I cover finds another place. But you break through all the dark in me, when I swore that nobody could. And you wake up all the light in me, when I thought it was gone for good. [Verse 3] Between the silence and the violence, I got lost inside my skin, Every shadow kept me hollow, but you pull me back again. It feels easy when I’m with you, no one sees me the way you do, I don’t trust it, but I want to, I keep coming back to— [Chorus] Why does the scar burn every time I let it show? Why does it hurt less when it’s you who wants to know? All the secrets that keep me in chains, and All the damage that made me feel dangerous. We can’t heal it if we never face it, What if together we could escape it? [Post-Chorus] We are scars, scars, We can’t heal it if we never face it. Turn the pain to a strength ‘til it’s weightless. [Bridge] So take my hand, it’s open (Scars, scars) What if we heal what’s broken? (Scars, scars) [Outro] I tried to cover it, but the mark still shows, I thought I was broken, but you made me whole. We can’t heal it if we never face it, Turn the past to a scar ‘til it’s weightless.
