Scars
Iraheta Allison Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There goes one more mistake
Do I bore you with my problems?
Is that why you turn away?
Do you know how hard I tried
To become what you want me to be?
Take me
This is all that I'm not
All that I'll ever be
I've got flaws, I've got faults
Keep searching for your perfect heart
It doesn't matter who you are
We all have our scars
We all have our scars
You say don't act like a child
But what if its a father I need?
Its not like you don't know what you got yourself into
Don't tell me I'm the one who's naive
Do you know how hard I've tried
To become who you want me to be?
Take me
This is all that I've got
This is all that I'm not
All that I'll ever be
I've got flaws, I've got faults
Keep searching for your perfect heart
It doesn't matter who you are
We all have our scars
We all have our scars
Come on, just let it go
These are things you can't control
Your expectations, your explanations
Don't make sense to me
You and your alternatives
Don't send me to your therapists
Deep down, I know what you mean
And I'm not sure that's what I wanna be
No
Take me
This is all that I've got
This is all that I'm not
All that I'll ever be
I've got flaws, I've got faults
Keep searching for your perfect heart
It doesn't matter who you are
We all have our scars
We all have our scars
Oh no no no
Did I say something stupid
There goes one more mistake
In the song "Scars" by Iraheta Allison, the lyrics express feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. The singer of the song seems to be struggling to meet the expectations of the people around her, particularly a partner who seems to be demanding more than she can offer. She questions whether she is boring or not good enough, and wonders if she needs a father figure in her life. She expresses how hard she has tried to become the person her partner wants her to be but still feels imperfect, flawed and scarred. The chorus emphasizes that everyone has scars and imperfections and tells the listener to accept who they are and not search for some "perfect" heart.
The song conveys a message of self-acceptance and self-love, reminding listeners that they do not need validation from others to feel worthy. It highlights the idea that nobody is perfect and that is okay, as we all have our own scars and faults. The song encourages people to embrace their flaws and love themselves for who they are, rather than trying to become what someone else wants them to be.

Little Girl: Whats on your arm?
Me: They’re battle scars.
Little Girl: You fought in a war?
Me: Yeah. A long and hard one.
Little Girl: That’s so cool! Can I get one?
Me: No. please do not get any but tell you what. Whenever you see someone else with battle scars, I want you to give them a hug, okay? Can you promise me?
Little Girl: Yes, I promise.
Ah ha ha
I have bags under my eyes
I have small lips
I have multiple scars on my knees
My hair is constantly tangled
I’m not perfect
I have friends that support me
I have loving sisters
I have a loving mother
I am constantly laughing
I am happy
I may not be perfect
But who is?

Yes. It's pointless trying to make it exactly the way it was.
That's why you take those pieces and make something else. Like a pretty chandelier, or wind chime. Or sculpture.
Don't try going back to exactly who you were, that's not gonna happen.
Focus on making yourself into something else instead. Something even better. You'll become even stronger.
It's pretty hard to break glass twice. 💛💚❤💙💜

"Do you know how hard I've tried..."
Dear mom,
Do you know how hard I've tried to be a loving daughter?
Do you know how hard I've tried to be "perfect"
Do you know how hard I've tried to get your full attention
Do you know how hard I've tried to talk you about my depression
Do you know how hard I've tried to not kill myself
Do you know how hard I've tried to go outside for the first time in weeks
Do you know how hard I've tried to get rid of my anxiety
Do you know how hard I've tried to not stay in my room all day
Do you know how hard I've tried to not starve myself
And do you know how much I actually care about you??
I know I'm not loved, so I'll save you the trouble. 💔 give me the rope.
Sincerly,
Alyssa M. S.

For anyone who happened to fall into this:
You are not alone
I swear, I promise
People care
You just need to keep on fighting
Stay here
(This is coming from an anxious depressed bean btw)
I have a suicidal friend right now
And have been having random anxiety attacks
This is hard
I know
It friken hurts like hell
But
You are beautiful
You are worthy
Of being loved
Being listened to
And if this
Makes one person smile
Or feel the tiniest better
Everything will be worth it
People love you
People care
And once again
You deserve that love and care

Hey everyone out there
I just want to say I am so proud of you for making it this far.
I suffer from depression and anxiety, but my family doesn't know.
Thank you for choosing to stay because remember: Suicide doesn't end depression, it just passes it on.
It's going to be alright. What you need to do is find someone to talk to. Don't keep it all inside for too long.
Stay strong <3

Nobody thinks you belong
Nobody thinks your nice
Nobody thinks your cool
Nobody believes in you

Dear Depression
Nothing like the blade across my skin
Nothing worth more than letting u win
Nothing that makes me feel so alive
Right before the death
As I take this breath
I realize I don't deserve it
I've been a bad guy
Im to the point of suicide.
Ur the one telling me I'm not good enough.
Ur the one telling me I can't be here
Ur the one that wants me to fear
The one who tells me that nobody wants me!!
The one telling me that itll never be over
That I won't escape ur wrath
The one that's leading me down the wrong path.
But I will shout
I will let it out
These demons are here
These demons are near
They won't ever go away
Thats all u will say!!
But there's nothing like the blade across my skin
Nothing worth more than letting u win
Nothing that makes me feel so alive
Right before death...
But I'm not gonna give in
Not gonna let u win!
Not gonna let u destroy my life,
Like u destroyed theirs!!
Go on get out of here.
Im not going to listen
To those lies u tell!!
"He never loved u anyway"
"Nobody wants u here"
"U will regret not leaving now!!"
He's better than the Blade across my skin
He's worth more than letting u win
He makes me feel so alive,
That I don't need death.!!
(I wrote this a year ago, yeh I know its cringey. Sorry. 😢😢😢)
