Lyrics
[Verse 1] I learned the shape of loss By the shape of my own hands Broken glass in the sink Blood on the work pants Mama said, “cover up” I said, “watch me wear it proud” Every crack had a cost Now I wear it out loud [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need fixing I don’t need grace What tried to break me Left a brighter trace [Chorus] I wear my scars like gold I wear my scars like gold (gold) What cut me clean Now makes me whole I wear my scars like gold (gold) [Verse 2] That old bruise on my jaw Got a story of its own Backseat, county fair Two fists and a broken phone I kept walking home Through the rain and the noise With a fire in my throat And a knot in my voice [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need hiding I don’t need shade What tried to bury me Got turned into a blade [Chorus] I wear my scars like gold I wear my scars like gold (gold) What cut me clean Now makes me whole I wear my scars like gold (gold) [Bridge] Let them stare Let them count Every mark I carried out I was bent, I was bent But I did not fold I turned the hurt Into gold [Chorus] I wear my scars like gold I wear my scars like gold (gold) What cut me clean Now makes me whole I wear my scars like gold (gold) [Outro] I wear my scars like gold I wear my scars like gold (gold) What cut me clean Now makes me whole I wear my scars like gold
