Your Scars-Jodi King

Taking the long way around And throwing your weight Against the world Maybe it turns out white In spite of the black You thought you heard Taking your cues off someone’s perception Seeking perfection that nobody knows Hiding yourself in someone’s reflection It’s not that you’re meant To be here at all It’s not that you fall As long as you know Chorus Cut by the wind Your heart on your sleeve As long as you’re bleeding No one else can take your place Eyes open Hard to believe As long as you’re bleeding No one has the beauty of Your scars Burning a bridge back home When home is the place you need to be Making a warm heart cold And breaking the hearts that let you be Tripping yourself on losing direction Missing the roses that cover the walls It’s not that you fall As long as you know Chorus Bridge The prick of a thorn The sting of a loss It’s not that you fall As long as you know Chorus
