Scars
Bryan Lanning Lyrics

Insecure
We feel a lack of confidence and are unsure of ourselves

And unsure
We don't have a clear sense of direction or understanding

That's how these scars have left us
Past experiences have caused us to feel this way

Time and hope and touch
Recovery takes patience, optimism, and comfort

Is all it takes to heal these wounds
With the right support and attitude, we can recover from past hurt

If everything ran smoothly
In an ideal world, life would always be easy

Then we'd never be prepared.
But we wouldn't develop the skills necessary to handle challenges

These chances that we're taking
We're willing to take risks and be vulnerable

And no feelings can be spared
We're opening ourselves up completely, leaving nothing hidden

I hate how you look at me with those eyes
Your concern and worry for me makes me uncomfortable

I swear everything, everythings fine
I want you to believe that I'm okay, even if I'm not

At first I felt free
I experienced a brief sense of liberation

I felt like I was a teenager again
I felt a sense of nostalgia for my youth

I could do whatever I wanted
I felt empowered to make my own choices

I learned quickly that that feeling wasn't going to last
I realized that freedom comes with consequences

I felt lost
I was confused and didn't know what to do next

I was just confused as to how I got myself to this place
I didn't understand how I ended up in this situation

The friends I thought I had made wheren't friends at all
I realized that the people I thought were close to me weren't really there for me

I was in trouble and I had no one
I was in a difficult situation and had no support

I had separated myself from my parents,
I distanced myself from my family

From my actual friends,
I pushed away the people who cared about me

From anyone who really knew me at all
I isolated myself from anyone who truly understood me

I pushed everyone away and I was broken
I shut people out and was emotionally damaged

I was alone, scared and lost
I was experiencing feelings of isolation, fear, and confusion

I laid on my closet floor
I was physically and emotionally exhausted and collapsed

Just crying
I was overwhelmed with emotions and tears

And he found his way to me
Someone came into my life to help me through my struggles

I needed him and he needed me
We both found solace in each other's companionship

He put me back together
He helped me rebuild my emotional strength and resilience

The scars where so deep but we knew our love was strong enough
The emotional damage from past experiences was severe, but our love for each other could overcome it

Our love was worth the fight
Our relationship was important enough to us to go through difficult times

Our love is worth the fight
Our relationship is worth the emotional and mental effort we put into it
