Scarred and Smiling

Lyrics

Verse 1
I did something dumb
Thought I was untouchable
One bad night
And the floor got reachable

Machine beeps in my head
White walls, blue light
I woke up changed
By the edge of my life

I don’t remember last summer
Just the curtain and the cast
You kept saying my name
Like you knew I’d come back

Pre-Chorus
And I came back scarred
But I came back mine
You saw the gold in the cracks
Right on time

Chorus
He stayed
He stayed
Through the tough times

He stayed
He stayed
Now I feel fine

You call me beautiful
With my scars in your hands
He stayed
He stayed
Till the end, if he can

Verse 2
Now I lose another day
To house arrest, they say
Same four walls
But you still make room to stay

You bring that calm
When my chest runs wild
You turn my bad luck
Into something I can smile

I hate the wait
But you make it feel light
When the world locks up
You keep me alive

Pre-Chorus
And I came back bruised
But I came back real
You give me a reason
To heal what I feel

Chorus
He stayed
He stayed
Through the tough times

He stayed
He stayed
Now I feel fine

You call me beautiful
With my scars in your hands
He stayed
He stayed
Till the end, if he can

Bridge
I’m just happy
You ride it out with me
Through the shaky nights
Through the broken weeks

If I shake, you stay
If I fall, you wait
You gave my name back
You gave my heart a place

Final Chorus
He stayed
He stayed
Through the tough times

He stayed
He stayed
Now I feel fine

You call me beautiful
With my scars in your hands
He stayed
He stayed
Till the end, if he can

My happiness
My reason to wake
He stayed
He stayed
And I’m here because he stayed
