Scars Lyrics

My whole life I kept a secret

I never told a single soul

Thought that it was weakness if I let myself become exposed

I never said a word

Always kept my pain silent

But deep inside my heart and soul I could hear the sirens

Yeah I could hear the sirens

I was crying out for help within my own confinement

Many years passed and till' this day I'm still reminded

That I was betrayed by someone who I should confide in

I was just a child

And early on I was exposed to a world so vile

Took my smile, took my innocence, and left me stranded

In denial that this incident was just imagined

But it wasn't

I wish these words I speak were due to a lack of judgement

It's hard for me to function when my past is still alive today

I wish this was a dream, but it's not, I'm wide awake

These memories might be the death of me

I can't believe you took the rest of me

But I forgive you for molesting me

Just know you fucked me up and left a scar mentally

Take my hands don't, let go

The pain I hide won't, let show

Take my heart set, me free

All these scars left, me weak

Take my hands don't, let go

The pain I hide won't, let show

Take my heart set, me free

All these scars left, me weeeeeaaaaaaaak oh

I feel so weeeeeaaaaaaaak oh

Set me freeeeeeeeee oh

Please set me freeeeeeeeee oh

Can't you see you stole my childhood?

And left me traumatized

So much hate and self-destruction like a bomb's inside

No I cannot lie

I often wanna die

And if love is real, why is love so hard to find?

Why is love so hard to find?

Cause the only love I once knew caught me blind

I was only nine when you chose to take advantage

Your temporary pleasure left me permanently damaged

But regardless

I won't let your lifeless acts of cruelty turn me heartless

I can promise you one day I'll rise

I might be sinking now but karma's gonna' turn the tides

Take a look into my eyes and don't forget this image

Now take a deeper look inside and see what you've inflicted

All the sorrow I've kept hidden here is now forbidden

And I refuse to keep on suffering from your decisions

And although I cannot erase these acts that you've committed

I know my heart will surely mend through faith and be uplifted

And I will smile again

Go ahead and mark my words

You see a flower only blossoms if it grows through dirt

Although it hurts I must confront you and no longer run

Although it hurts I do forgive you for the things you've done

I know my worth and I will search until I find the sun

And let this story symbolize the way my life begun

But my story is so far from over

I closed that chapter in my life and finally gave it closure

I said my story is so far from over

I'm no longer looking back, I must keep moving forward

Take my hands don't, let go

The pain I hide won't, let show

Take my heart set, me free

All these scars left, me weak

Take my hands don't, let go

The pain I hide won't, let show

Take my heart set, me free

All these scars left, me weeeeeaaaaaaaak oh

I feel so weeeeeaaaaaaaak oh

Set me freeeeeeeeee oh

Please set me freeeeeeeeee oh
