Lyrics

Verse 1
You gave me scars I thought I’d ne-uh-ver heal,
(yeah, yeah, uh)
Dark nights, cold fights, but now I fee-hee-el—
(feel it, feel it, uh)
Every cut, every bruise, a lesson in dis-uh-guise,
(lesson, lesson, ow)
Not to break me down, but help me riiiiise.
(rise up, rise up, shamone)
Pre-Chorus
I see the fiiiiire in your eyes,
(eyes, eyes, uh)
Not to burn me out, but make me wiiise,
(ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, hee)
You showed me pain’s a twisted kind of graaace,
(grace, grace, uh)
A harder road to a stronger plaaace.
(ooh, ooh, ah, ah, shamone)
Chorus
Thank you for the nights I couldn’t slee-eep,
(couldn’t sleep, oh no, uh)
For the tears I had to kee-eep,
(keep, keep, ow)
You gave me pain, but it’s my shiiield,
(my shield, my shield, echo, hee-hee)
A threshold where my soul is heeealed.
(healed, healed, healed, uh)
In a world that’s cold and unforgi-vi-iiing,
(so cold, so cold, shamone)
You taught me how to keep on li-iiiving,
(keep on, keep on, echo, uh)
Not all love is soft and swee-eet—
(not all, not all, ow)
Sometimes it’s the pain that makes me co-omplete.
(complete, complete, echo, hee)
Verse 2
I used to run from shadows in my mi-iind,
(run, run, echo, uh)
But now I’m chasing storms I used to hiiide,
(chasing, chasing, ow)
You pushed me through the fiiire, made me see,
(see it, see it, uh)
Strength’s born from scars, that’s the keeeey.
(that’s the key, key, shamone)
Pre-Chorus
I feel the weight, but I’m still he-eere,
(still here, still here, uh)
Every wound a story cleeear,
(ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, hee)
You didn’t break me, you set me free-ee,
(free, free, echo, ow)
Taught me how to be the best of me-ee.
(ooh, ooh, ah, ah, shamone)
Chorus
Thank you for the nights I couldn’t slee-eep,
(thank you, thank you, uh)
For the tears I had to kee-eep,
(keep, keep, echo, ow)
You gave me pain, but it’s my shiiield,
(my shield, my shield, hee-hee)
A threshold where my soul is heeealed.
(healed, healed, uh)
In a world that’s cold and unforgi-vi-iiing,
(cold world, cold world, shamone)
You taught me how to keep on li-iiiving,
(living, living, echo, uh)
Not all love is soft and swee-eet—
(not all, not all, ow)
Sometimes it’s the pain that makes me co-omplete.
(complete, complete, echo, hee)
Bridge
I’m grateful for the storm insiiide,
(storm inside, storm inside, uh)
The thunder that won’t let me hiiide,
(thunder, thunder, ow)
You gave me strength I ne-uh-ver knew,
(never knew, never knew, shamone)
In brokenness, I found the truuuth.
(truth, truth, echo, hee-hee)
Outro
So here’s my thanks, wrapped in the niiight,
(in the night, in the night, uh)
For every shadow, every fiiight,
(every fight, every fight, ow)
You gave me pain, but now I see—
(see, see, echo, shamone)
It’s the fire that’s setting me free-ee.
(free, free, free, hee-hee-hee)
