Scars lyrics

I wore a hundred masks to hide the fall Built my defenses brick by silent brick Every midnight, I would trace the wall A prisoner to a past that plays its trick I walked through ghost towns of a love long gone Where every echo sounded like goodbye Learned to keep my own heart safe from dawn Beneath a cold and calculating sky But in your quiet gaze, a mirror stares And for the first time, silence feels so safe These shattered histories we kept inside Our scars became the language of the lost You saw the lonely rooms where failures hide And didn't run when you had seen the cost You spoke of chains you thought you'd never break Of empty hands that held on far too tight A fragile trust, for goodness gracious sake Two shadows stepping slowly toward the light I kept that door locked for a thousand nights I learned to live with ghosts inside my head You reached for parts I'd hidden from all sight And understood the words I never said These shattered histories we kept inside! Our scars became the language of the lost! You saw the lonely rooms where failures hide! And didn't run when you had seen the cost! This heavy past Is ours now!
