[Verse 1]
Woke up with the weight of the world on my chest (ugh)
Every breath feelin’ like a goddamn test (keep breathin’)
Dreams cracked open like bottles in the street (shattered)
Hope got holes where the light used to leak (dim lights)
Tried to outrun what I couldn’t erase (can’t run)
But pain got a way of rememberin’ your face (it know me)
They said I’m broken, said I’m through— (nah)
But look at these scars, I made it through you (look at me now)
⸻
[Chorus]
Scars don’t mean I lost, nah, they mean I bled (bled for this)
They mean I crawled through every word you said (every word)
They mean I stood when the world said die (stand tall)
These scars don’t lie—no, these scars don’t lie (they talk for me)
⸻
[Verse 2]
Life don’t come with a warning or map (nah)
Just fists to the jaw and knives in the back (stabbed again)
But I kept movin’ through the static and smoke (push through)
Every fall just carved another quote (tattooed pain)
Got ghosts that dance when I try to sleep (I see ’em)
But I ain’t theirs to keep, I’m runnin’ too deep (too deep)
Pressure made diamonds? Nah, I made me— (I made me)
Outta every bruise they thought I’d never leave (I’m still here)
⸻
[Chorus]
Scars don’t mean I lost, nah, they mean I bled (still bleedin’)
They mean I crawled through every word you said (you lied)
They mean I stood when the world said die (nah)
These scars don’t lie—no, these scars don’t lie (facts)
⸻
[Verse 3]
I ain’t ask for the pain, but it taught me to fight (swing first)
Darkness raised me, but I clawed for the light (clawed out)
No silver spoon, just a blade and a prayer (real)
Heart full of rage and lungs full of air (I’m breathin’)
They see the cuts, but not where they came from (deep)
They hear the voice, but not what it ran from (listen)
You call it trauma, I call it truth (truth hurts)
’Cause every loss I took made room for proof (they see me)
⸻
[Bridge] (Spoken softly with echo)
(This ain’t weakness… this is survival)
(This ain’t broken… this is revival)
You wanna know strength? (yeah)
Look at what I buried and still walked away from.
⸻
[Final Chorus]
Scars don’t mean I lost, nah, they mean I bled (bled out)
They mean I crawled through every word you said (liar)
They mean I stood when the world said die (I said no)
These scars don’t lie—no, these scars don’t lie (they tell my story)
