Scar

She has a scar
But it’s hidden from plain sight
Only her nearest and dearest know it’s there
She likes to scratch it open
As a reminder of her plight
Lest she could ever forget how she cared
Stop scratching, stop hurting
It’s okay
He’s in your heart
Don’t let this pain and this sorrow
Tear you apart
Then, once it heals
And she grants herself some more
Can she see the treasures lying below
Does she know she grew
That she’s wiser than before
Has she noticed who is running the show
Stop scratching, stop hurting
It’s okay
He’s in your heart
Don’t let this pain and this sorrow
Tear you apart
Look up to the light
The sun has always shone
Allow yourself to breathe
Know that love is never gone
Stop scratching, stop hurting
It’s okay
He’s in your heart
Don’t let this pain and this sorrow
Tear you apart
Look up to the light
The sun has always shone
Allow yourself to breathe
Know that love is never gone
Love is never gone
