Scars Remain

SCARS REMAIN [Intro] Midnight calling through the walls I hear your voice, but no one’s home Ghosts don't knock before they enter They just remind me I'm alone [Verse 1] You left fingerprints on my heart Like a crime scene under neon lights Every promise fell apart Every “forever” died that night I tried to wash away the memories Tried to bury what we became But every time I look inside I still recognize your name [Pre-Chorus] I can hide the evidence I can change the way I breathe But the past keeps whispering Everything you did to me [Chorus] The scars remain, the scars remain Even when I dance beneath the rain You disappeared, but left your stain I learned to smile through all the pain You can take the love You can take the blame You can disappear and change your name But underneath this beautiful face The scars remain [Verse 2] Black roses on an empty bed Your photograph is turning gray I don't miss the words you said I miss the person I was yesterday You called my weakness something beautiful Then used it like a loaded gun Now every piece you tried to break Is becoming someone you can't outrun [Pre-Chorus] I don't need your sympathy I don't need another lie You were the fire underneath me Now I'm learning how to survive [Chorus] The scars remain, the scars remain Even when I dance beneath the rain You disappeared, but left your stain I learned to smile through all the pain You can take the love You can take the blame You can disappear and change your name But underneath this beautiful face The scars remain [Post-Chorus] Oh-oh, I remember Oh-oh, December Every wound became a warning Every tear became a flame Oh-oh, you remember You don't get to erase me You may have broken something But you never killed my name [Bridge] Look what you made Look what I became A heart full of thunder Dancing inside the flames I used to pray That you'd come back again Now I'd rather keep the scars Than ever need you again You wanted a victim You created a storm You wanted me silent Now I'm louder than before You thought I'd disappear You thought I'd fade away But every scar you left behind Is proof I survived the pain [Breakdown] SCARS! On my heart! SCARS! In the dark! You can run from what you did But I carry every mark! SCARS! Let them show! SCARS! Let them glow! I don't need to hide the damage I'm the one who made it through! [Final Chorus] The scars remain, the scars remain But they don't control me anymore I turned the ashes into diamonds Turned your goodbye into a war You can keep your empty promises You can keep your poisoned fame I won't ever be the same again And I don't wanna be The scars remain But so do I The scars remain But I'm still alive The scars remain Beneath my skin You tried to break me I became the ending [Outro] Midnight calling through the walls But I don't answer anymore Your ghost can knock forever I won't open that door The memories may stay The shadows may remain But you don't own my heart now... Only the scars remain.
