Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 I learned to smile in broken mirrors Hide the cracks behind my skin Every tear I swallowed quietly Every war I didn’t win They see laughter, hear my heartbeat Think I’ve always been okay But they never saw the midnight Where my demons learned my name Pre-Chorus I stitched my soul with shaky hands Taught myself to stand alone Built a home out of my silence From the things I’ve never shown Chorus These are scars that I never showed Inside and outside, deep in my bones Every cut from words unspoken Every promise left in smoke I survived what broke my heart Learned to shine inside the dark These are scars that I never showed But they made me who I am, I know Verse 2 I wore courage like a jacket Too thin for winter nights Slept with fear beside my pillow Prayed for better days and light All the names they ever called me Still echo in my head But I turned them into strength now From the tears I never shed Pre-Chorus I buried pain in pretty songs So no one’d hear me cry Learned to fake a thousand smiles Just to make it by Chorus These are scars that I never showed Inside and outside, deep in my bones Every cut from words unspoken Every promise left in smoke I survived what broke my heart Learned to shine inside the dark These are scars that I never showed But they made me who I am, I know Bridge If you see me standing strong Know it took a thousand falls Every bruise, every goodbye Built these wings so I could rise I’m not broken, I’m becoming Every scar is proof I’m living Final Chorus These are scars that I never showed Tattooed in stories nobody knows From the ashes, from the pain I learned how to love again I’m still here, I’m still whole With a fire inside my soul These are scars that I never showed But they turned my hurt to gold Outro Yeah, I’m still standing, still breathing With a heart that learned to heal These are scars I never showed Now I wear them—strong and real
