[Verse 1] You flinch at kindness like it’s a trick Like it’s something that won’t last long Your silence screams louder than words Every breath feels like a war you’ve won They carved their names into your skin Left lessons written in pain You learned how to survive the dark But forgot how to stay [Pre-Chorus] You say love always leaves a bruise But I’m not here to hurt you [Chorus] I love you—scars and all Every crack in your walls Every ghost you still carry home You’ve been beaten, you’ve bled, you’ve crawled Still you stand, still you’re whole And I love you… scars and all [Verse 2] You apologize for needing space Like healing’s something you owe You keep your heart in a locked-down room Afraid I’ll see too close But I don’t need you untouched I don’t need you new I just need you breathing beside me Doing what you do [Pre-Chorus] You think you’re hard to love this way But you’re the reason I stay [Chorus] I love you—scars and all Every crack in your walls Every night you fight alone You’ve been broken, burned, and called small Still you rise, still you hold And I love you… scars and all [Bridge] (drop, then build) I won’t ask where the scars come from I won’t make you explain If the past comes screaming in the dark I’ll stand in the rain You don’t have to be fearless here You don’t have to be strong Just don’t disappear on me When the night feels long [Final Chorus] (bigger, raw) I love you—scars and all Not the pieces, but the whole Every mark they tried to use To say you’re hard to hold You survived what should’ve killed your flame You’re still here, and that’s enough I love you—scars and all And I always will [Outro] (quiet, aching) You walked through hell and learned to stay I’ll walk with you the rest of the way
