Scars That Taught Me

Verse 1
In my past I've made mistakes,
When it came to love, I lost my way.
Thought I knew what I was doing,
But every choice pushed hearts away.
The more I searched for someone new,
The more I lost the ones I knew.
I chased a feeling, ran too fast,
Never thinking it would never last.
Pre-Chorus
I became the thing I swore I'd never be,
A player, a liar, someone I couldn't see.
I looked into the mirror, couldn't face my name,
Carrying the weight of all my shame.
Chorus
These scars remind me where I've been,
Of every battle fought within.
I can't erase my yesterday,
But I won't let it steal today.
I've fallen hard, I've lost my way,
I've lived through nights that wouldn't fade.
But if there's hope beyond the pain,
I'll learn to love without the chains.
Verse 2
Then karma came without a sound,
Turned my whole world upside down.
I was betrayed, I was hurt,
Left believing I deserved the worst.
I still blame myself sometimes,
For every wrong, for every crime.
But pain doesn't always tell the truth,
Even when it's all you've ever known.
Bridge
I never grew up with open arms,
Just blame and silence, hidden scars.
So I searched for love in all the wrong places,
Trying to fill empty spaces.
Now I'm learning healing takes its time,
One small step, one day, one climb.
The past may always leave its mark,
But it doesn't have to own my heart.
Final Chorus
These scars remind me where I've been,
Not who I have to be again.
I can't rewrite my yesterday,
But I can choose a different way.
I'll carry every lesson learned,
Not every bridge that's been burned.
'Cause love begins when I believe,
The future's more than what I've seen.
Outro
I'm not the person that I was,
I'm more than every thing I've done.
My story isn't over yet...
I'm still learning how to love.
