Scars

I've got my scars See ain't nobody with you I've got the heart Tell me I got nothing to lose You lift me up at first Then you held me down Tired of the beating So I'll rise up now Hands with my guard Defense on the prowl Stand up tall and stand my ground This man in the mirror I just see the scars When failure and defeat is all you are Can't take the heat Walls close in now I'll defeat myself I just don't know how I hate what I see when I see myself The person you might see just isn't who I wanna be And who I wanna be Is something I will never see So maybe this is just Thinking wishfully Wish fully But officially I'm ending this cycle unconditionally And if it revives beneficially What if this demon revives, literally? I'll do what it takes, and I'll never stop Up until the day that I drop Put this to my head and I'll pop off I'll rise to the sky and I'll never fall off Even if it means that I am gone Here today and tomorrow I'm not At least I'm prepared And ready to stop Seal the deal with this final send-off I've got my scars See ain't nobody with you I've got the heart Tell me I got nothing to lose You won't baby You can try leaving this place right now I'm on top of the town I've got scars I ain't got nothing to lose So once and for all Bitch you will be stopped I got a family to feed And be here just not At this current hour in time But I'm gritting my teeth and been working fine But time with myself is needed now To conquer these demons they been rolling loud Kick them out and end them tonight It's almost been 1 month, since I've been clean, how? I don't know how I did it, wow But therapy has been my only way out Dropped the pills and lost the knife Getting back on track In control of my life And if you need proof Then I'm standing here You can kill your demons and face them fears I still hate being in this mirror But decided to survive and still be here So if you're out there and can barely hold on Talk to someone, just keep holding on Life is not a returned coupon It's a race in time, like a marathon It's a joy in life, moments off and on Like a lightswitch, flickered hope upon Your smile's like a ray, brighter than the sun That's enough reason to keep going on I've got my scars See ain't nobody with you I've got the heart Tell me I got nothing to lose You won't baby You can try leaving this place right now I'm on top of the town I've got scars I ain't got nothing to lose Go now I see the road now This town is so loud I'm on my own now Go now I see the road now This town is so loud I'm on my own now I've got my scars See ain't nobody with you I've got the heart Tell me I got nothing to lose You won't baby You can try leaving this place right now I'm on top of the town I've got scars I ain't got nothing to lose
