benjamin lerner - scars lyrics

[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 n0body 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 h#lla 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 d#mn 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
