[Chorus:] I’m scarred, and you’re scarred My scars and your scars Paint a beautiful picture that tells the story of the journey of your life Like the writing on a postcard And if you’re scarred inside Trying to come to terms with the past Or moving on from a broken heart I’ll be right there with you. I want you to know Listen to my words, and you’ll never be alone I’ll be right there [Verse:] I used to hate all of the scars upon my arms and my face Used to wish for pure perfection with no mark and no trace Of any blemish in my image, ‘cause it’s hard to relate To other people acting shallow, cruel, and heartless and fake My insecurities got stronger and I started to chase After relief and found a feeling that was hard to replace It left me permanently marked in ways so hard to erase That now remind me how I hurt myself and tried to escape It’s hard for me to keep it real, but I’mma keep it 100 There’s a reason why I wear the long sleeves in the summer There’s a reason why I edit all my posts and my pictures And change the way I look with filters with control and precision But now, I’m walking out the shadows - with an honest admission: My complexion isn’t perfect in its honest condition And I got marks upon my body that were caused from addiction ‘cause ain’t nobody perfect. We all got our flaws, and we’re different And there’s some people who ain’t really got no scars on their skin But they’ll relate to this, ‘cause everyone is scarred from within And some obsess about their weight until they’re awfully thin Preoccupied with what some other people possibly think And some are scarred from hella trauma they didn’t deserve And so they take out all their hatred and resentment with words Or act indifferent ‘cause they’re so afraid to get themselves hurt That every possible attempt at real affection is curved I’d rather live an ugly truth than live a beautiful lie Because the truth is that my scars are really stupid to hide ‘Cause if somebody doesn’t see the inner beauty inside It’s ‘cause they’re caught up in illusion so the truth gets denied I used to be so damn obsessed with what to do with my scars But truth be told, my imperfection’s my most beautiful part And I’m just proud that there’s a part of me that sets me apart Reminding me how far I’ve managed to progress from the start [Chorus:] I’m scarred, and you’re scarred My scars and your scars Paint a beautiful picture that tells the story of the journey of your life Like the writing on a postcard And if you’re scarred inside Trying to come to terms with the past Or moving on from a broken heart I’ll be right there with you. I want you to know Listen to my words, and you’ll never be alone I’ll be right there [Interlude:] In this world, people tell us what to do. People tell us what to think. People tell us what to sound like. We even use vocal effects We work so hard just to cover up our scars. I think it’s time to show the real me So here I am. No effects. No filters. Just me. Scars and all [Chorus:] I’m scarred, and you’re scarred My scars and your scars Paint a beautiful picture that tells the story of the journey of your life Like the writing on a postcard And if you’re scarred inside Trying to come to terms with the past Or moving on from a broken heart I’ll be right there with you. I want you to know Listen to my words, and you’ll never be alone I’ll be right there
