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
