The Scar

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

I still keep your shadow in my hands,

A ghost of warmth I don't understand.

I lied and said I'd let the silence in,

But silence never felt so much like sin.

Chorus

I am the wound that never learned to close,

You are the name my broken heartbeat knows.

Tell me — was I ever yours to keep?

Or just a storm you chose to believe in?

Verse 2

I kept your letters folded in a drawer,

Like evidence of something I still swore.

I told my friends I'm better off this way,

Then read your name until the break of day.

Pre-Chorus

I don't need heaven, I don't need the light —

I just need you to haunt me one more night.

Chorus

I am the wound that never learned to close,

You are the name my broken heartbeat knows.

Tell me — was I ever yours to keep?

Or just a storm you chose to believe in?

Bridge, Emotional Vocals

Say my name the way you used to say it then,

Before the silence taught us how to end.

I'm not asking you to stay —

Just tell me that it mattered, anyway.

I gave you every scar I own,

And you gave me a way to be alone.

Strings Interlude

Drum Roll

Chorus, Powerful Vocals

I was the wound, and I have learned to close,

You were the name my breaking heartbeat chose.

No — I was always mine to keep,

I was never just a storm you chose to believe in.

Bass Drop

I'll wear this scar like armor, not like shame,

I'll rise up burning, and I'll rise the same.
