Thank you for the scars

[Verse]
Carved lines tell stories on my skin
A map of places I have been
Each mark a lesson I couldn’t flee
Thank you for the pain that set me free

[Chorus]
Thank you for the scars I wear
Proof I’ve been broken but I’m still here
Laughter echoes through the cracks
A testament to what I’ve taken back

[Verse 2]
Shadows linger but I’ve made peace
Found beauty in the jagged crease
The weight was heavy but now it’s light
Through the dark I’ve found the fight

[Bridge]
Every tear that fell fed the seed
Of something stronger I didn’t see
In the silence I found my name
Through the ashes I rose again

[Chorus]
Thank you for the scars I wear
Proof I’ve been broken but I’m still here
Laughter echoes through the cracks
A testament to what I’ve taken back

[Outro]
So here I stand bare and true
A patchwork of all I’ve been through
Each wound a whisper from afar
Thank you for the laughter thank you for the scars
