[Verse 1]
Even when you thought you had me beat
I still found the strength, hidden deep within me
And I can’t, can’t ever lose my voice
I learned how to block, block out all of the noise
And I found my place
In the empty spaces where my demons lay
No I don’t believe that we as humans were meant to be afraid

[Chorus]
I wear these scars
I own my mistakes, you made me this way
I wear these scars
I know my mistakes, you can’t take that away
I wear these scars
I wear these scars, you can’t take that away

[Verse 2]
It’s so strange that I ended up here
And I never thought I’d make it through these years
And I found my place
In the empty spaces where my demons lay
No I don’t believe that we as humans were meant to be enslaved

[Chorus]
I wear these scars
I own my mistakes, you made me this way
I wear these scars
I know my mistakes, you can’t take that away
I wear these scars
I wear these scars, you can’t take that away

[Bridge]
Most of these scars will fade away
But nothing hides the fact that you were my mistake
My mistake

[Chorus]
I wear these scars
I own my mistakes, you made me this way
I wear these scars
I know my mistakes, you can’t take that away
I wear these scars
I wear these scars, you can’t take that away

[Outro]
I don’t believe that we’re defined by our mistakes
And I can see that you think you’ve had all you can take
I won’t believe that we’re defined by our mistakes
I hope you see that you’re better off this way
