Scars

Some are deep, some are not
Some never hurt at all, some hurt a lot
Some are there from our mistakes
Some are all that's left to show of the choices that we've made
Even the ones too small to notice
Are there to remind us who we are
Even if the world could look inside us
They might miss the blemish on our hearts
These scars
I've got mine, you've got yours
I've lived enough to know not to hide them anymore
'Cause we've had time, and time can heal
If they could change the way we look, they could change the way we feel
I understand as well as you do
Sometimes a touch can go too far
Love was never meant to be that easy
And some don't just disappear in the dark
These scars
Pain that I remember, is the pain that makes me stronger
I've had to look at life that way
I've learned to rise above it, to keep from goin' under
Well, I take it step by step and day by day
I'm not ashamed of what you see
'Cause every single scar has become a part of me
And all I know is here and now
Yesterday's gone, but we made it through somehow
Lookin' back, I'm glad I took my chances
'Cause they were worth at least enough to leave a mark
Baby, I'm not sure where we're goin'
But it means a lot to know just where we'll start
With these scars
