Beautiful Scars

[Intro]
Yeah
Uh
(beautiful scars)
Yeah
[Verse 1]
You left lipstick on my t-shirt
Tear drops on the console
We fought all the way down Peach Street
Still swore we would never let the sun go
You threw rings at the dashboard
I caught one in my bare hand
Cut deep, left a red line
Now it shine when I don’t understand
We was two kids in a heat wave
Prayed hard in a cheap motel
Turned pain into slow praise
Shared secrets that we’d never tell
Now I trace that old hurt
Like a map to where you are
Every cut that your love made
Turned this cracked heart into art
[Chorus]
These are beautiful scars, that you painted on me
Every rip, every mark, still shaping what I be
Yeah, you tore me apart, but you carved out a dream
Got me bleeding in the dark
Dripping gold through the seams
These are beautiful scars (beautiful)
Beautiful scars on me
You left beautiful scars (beautiful)
Turned the broken into peace
[Verse 2]
We had thunder in the kitchen
Glass shake when your voice rose
Neighbors thinkin’ it’s a storm front
Really just two souls gettin’ too close
You said, “Boy, you’ll never change”
I said, “Girl, I already did”
But I still rode through your old block
Heart loud like a bass in the trunk lid
Now the texts that you left read
Like tattoos on my brain stem
All the words that you half meant
Still glow when I re-play them
I ain’t tryna rewrite us
I ain’t askin’ for restart
I just wear what you gave me
Like a grill made of heart
[Chorus]
These are beautiful scars, that you painted on me
Every rip, every mark, still shaping what I be
Yeah, you tore me apart, but you carved out a dream
Got me bleeding in the dark
Dripping gold through the seams
These are beautiful scars (beautiful)
Beautiful scars on me
You left beautiful scars (beautiful)
Turned the broken into peace
[Bridge]
We was fire, we was flood (yeah)
We was poison, we was drug (uh)
Now it’s quiet, now it’s dust
Still I’m branded by your love (ooh)
I keep every little line
Like a story on my skin
I ain’t healed, but I’m alive
And I’d do it all again
[Chorus]
These are beautiful scars, that you painted on me
Every rip, every mark, still shaping what I be
Yeah, you tore me apart, but you carved out a dream
Got me bleeding in the dark
Dripping gold through the seams
These are beautiful scars (beautiful)
Beautiful scars on me
You left beautiful scars (beautiful)
Turned the broken into peace
