[Verse 1]
They look and ask, “You okay?”
I say, “Yeah,” then look away
Long sleeves in the hot room
Trying to hide what I can’t lose
I’ve been bruised by what I feel
So I wear the hurt like it’s real
Every mark has got a name
Every night I fought the same
[Pre-Chorus]
I got tired of acting fine
Tired of saying, “I’m alright”
If I’m cracked, let it be seen
I’m still here, I’m still me
[Chorus]
Scars on display
I don’t hide my pain
Scars on display
Still I make it through the day
Say my name
I’m more than the shame
Scars on display
But I’m staying
[Verse 2]
Bathroom mirror, red-eyed stare
Counting lines like I was there
For every time I felt too much
For every time I lost my touch
I’m not proud of every cut
But I’m done being torn up
You don’t know this part of me
Till you see what I survived to be
[Pre-Chorus]
I got tired of acting fine
Tired of saying, “I’m alright”
If I’m cracked, let it be seen
I’m still here, I’m still me
[Chorus]
Scars on display
I don’t hide my pain
Scars on display
Still I make it through the day
Say my name
I’m more than the shame
Scars on display
But I’m staying
[Bridge]
Hands off the blade
I’m choosing my life
New skin, same soul
I’m learning to fight
If I fall, I call
I won’t disappear
I need love, not a grave
I need help, not fear
[Final Chorus]
Scars on display
I don’t hide my pain
Scars on display
Still I make it through the day
Say my name
I’m more than the shame
Scars on display
Yeah, I’m staying
