I have scars
From when the road had new gravel and I fell off of my bike
I have scars
From when I slipped down the hill on a foggy summer night
I have scars
From when my body didn't stop with my skates
I have scars
From when I was sledding and I saw the tree too late
I have scars
From the first time I tried to straighten my hair
I have scars
From when I tried to kick my aunt's cat out of her chair
I have scars
From when I tripped during rehearsals for the play
I have scars
From when I made out in the woods that first day
I have scars
From when I talked to him and you didn't like that
I have scars
From when I was a little later than the time you wanted me at
I have scars
From when you said my problems were not real
I have scars
From when that blade hit my skin so I could feel
I have scars
From when you locked me outside in the pouring rain
I have scars
From the night I poured my whiskey down the drain
I have scars
From when you yelled and left me a mile from my door
I have scars
From when I couldn't drag myself up off the floor
I have scars
From when we madeout in the backseat of my car
I have scars
From when I thought that we would never get that far
I have scars
From when I never ate and my health went down the drain
I have scars
But they still hurt sometimes, like they reopen with new pain
I have scars
But life goes on and in time all wounds heal
I have scars
Because I live and love and won't forget to feel
