Scars

Some are deep, some are not
Some never hurt at all, some hurt a lot
Some are there from our mistakes
And are all that’s left to show
From the choices that we’ve made
And even the ones too small to notice
Are there to remind us who we are
Even if the world could look inside us
It still might miss the blemish on our hearts
From these scars (These scars)
I’ve got mine and you’ve got yours
We’ve lived enough to know not to hide 'em anymore
'Cause we’ve had time and time can heal
If it can change the way we look
It can change the way we feel
I understand as well as you do
How sometimes a touch can go too far
Love was never meant to be that easy
And it don’t just disappear in the dark
With these scars
But the pain that I remember
Is the pain that makes me stronger
I’ve had to look at life that way
I’ve learned to rise above it
To keep from goin' under
Take it step by step, day by day
And I’m not ashamed of what you see
'Cause every single scar has become a part of me
All I know is here and now
Yesterday’s gone and we’ve made it through somehow
Lookin' back, I’m glad I took my chances
They were worth at least enough to leave a mark
And maybe we’re not sure of where we’re goin'
But it means a lot to know where we’ll start
From these scars
These scars (These scars, ooh)
