Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They never left me bruised
But I learned the shape of fear
A door can slam so hard
It stays inside you here
I wore a quiet face
Like it was made of stone
Smiled through the family room
Then went numb alone
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know
A scar can hide
Under clean white skin
And I know
Some damage
Doesn't show from where you've been
[Chorus]
Deeper than scars
Deeper than scars
It lives in the dark
Deep in my heart
Deeper than scars
Deeper than scars
I feel so much less
To feel this hurt
[Verse 2]
Their words still sit with me
Like dust in my throat
A small room full of rules
A life I had to tote
Now joy feels far away
Like I missed the train
I touch the world with care
But I can't feel the rain
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know
I learned to fold
My soft parts out of view
And I know
When love comes close
I don't know what to do
[Chorus]
Deeper than scars
Deeper than scars
It lives in the dark
Deep in my heart
Deeper than scars
Deeper than scars
I feel so much less
To feel this hurt
[Bridge]
If I go quiet
Don't call me cold
I'm just surviving
What I was sold
Hold me gentle
Let me be slow
I'm still becoming
Someone I know
[Final Chorus]
Deeper than scars
Deeper than scars
It lives in the dark
Deep in my heart
Deeper than scars
Deeper than scars
I feel so much less
To feel this hurt
Deeper than scars
Deeper than scars
But I am still here
Still learning to feel

Prompt
Female. My parents may have never physically hurt me much but they’ve scared me deep. Trauma runs deeper than the couple scars. The mental and emotional scars that make me numb to almost everything
