My life.

Mm-mm Mm-mm

I grew up in a house full of yelling and silence

Some days were storms, some days were quiet

Mama did her best, but she was tired

And I learned young how to put out fires

People said, “You’re strong,” but they didn’t know

I was holding it together just to let it go

I’ve been healed by the hurt

Put back together from the worst

Every scar I carry's got a story to say

I’ve cried in my car, I’ve begged God to stay

I ain’t perfect, but I’ve learned

I’ve been healed by the hurt

---

I fell in love when I didn’t even like myself

Thought maybe they could fix what I couldn’t help

But love don’t work when you’re not whole

And losing them nearly lost my soul

Now I see clearer through the pain I knew

Turns out the hardest days taught me the truth

I’ve been healed by the hurt

Put back together from the worst

Every scar I carry's got a story to say

I’ve screamed at the sky, I’ve tried to run away

I ain’t perfect, but I’ve learned

I’ve been healed by the hurt

---

It’s okay to break down

It’s okay to not know how

Sometimes healing don’t feel like healing

'Til you're lookin' back somehow

---

Yeah, I’ve been healed by the hurt

Not by magic, but by work

Every tear I cried made me softer and strong

Took time, took friends, took singing this song

I ain’t perfect, but I’ve earned

Every inch of peace I’ve burned

Yeah, I’ve been healed by the hurt
