I listened to your words, they hurt
You pushed and I fell, I came through it well
When I was pinched, I didn't scream
I was kicked and I cried, you punched and I sighed
When you cut me, I bled
Burn me 'til I'm red, Tie me to the bed
You beat me so thin
And there comes a time, when scars become skin
The silence that I hear, is a ringing in my ears
A reminder of the past, full of smiles full of tears
Things not forgot, left a mark
I wish I could have, time again against the dark
I know it was me and not you,
Your angel wing's against many things
They might be inside, invisible within
But there comes a time, when scars become skin
It's a hope, because it's not over for me
That I can look away, into new eyes that light the day
Eyes that will help me, to not forget nor to smile
Just to live with what has happened and know it's worthwhile
But scars don't heal stronger and often take longer
But calluses can, so let's do it again
I'm crazy, there's no misgiving
Maybe that's why, scars become skin
Maybe that's why, my scars became skin
