I spent so long
Trying to be enough
Changed my colors
Changed my touch

I learned to listen
To every doubt
Tried to find
What pushed them out

I held my breath
I played it safe
I wore a smile
I couldn't fake

Then I looked back
At everything
And saw a heart
Still beating underneath

I made mistakes
I lost my way
I gave my heart
To things that couldn't stay

But every scar
I carry now
Is proof I lived
And figured out somehow

There's nothing to fix
Nothing to hide
I carry my scars
And they're still mine

I loved. I lost
I crossed some lines
I broke apart
And came back alive

You can call me foolish
You can call me wrong
I've heard it all
For far too long

There's nothing to fix
Nothing to prove

I'm still here

And that's the truth

I wanted answers
I wanted signs
I chased a feeling
A thousand times

I gave forgiveness
I gave my trust
Sometimes I gave
Much more than I should

I learned that wanting
Doesn't make it stay
I learned that leaving
Doesn't erase the days

Some things were beautiful
Some things were cruel
Some taught me love
Some taught me to choose

I made mistakes
I lost my way
I gave my heart
To things that couldn't stay

But every scar
I carry now
Is proof I lived
And figured out somehow

There's nothing to fix
Nothing to hide
I carry my scars
And they're still mine

I loved. I lost
I crossed some lines
I broke apart
And came back alive

You can call me foolish
You can call me wrong
I've heard it all
For far too long

There's nothing to fix
Nothing to prove

I'm still here

And that's the truth

I don't need to be
Who you wanted me to be
I don't need permission
To feel what I feel

Every piece I buried
Found its way back home
Every door that closed
Taught me to stand alone

So take your judgment
Take your doubt
I spent too long
Trying to figure it out

I know who I am
I know what I've survived
And I won't apologize
For being alive

Nothing to fix
Nothing to hide
Nothing to prove
I'm still alive

Nothing to fix
Nothing to hide
This is my heart
This is my life

There's nothing to fix
Nothing to hide
I carry my scars
And they're still mine

I loved. I lost
I crossed some lines
I broke apart
And came back alive

You can call me foolish
You can call me wrong
I've heard it all
For far too long

There's nothing to fix
Nothing to prove
I'm still here
And that's the truth

There's nothing to fix
I was never broken
I loved too much
I felt too deep

I lost my way
But I found me
Nothing to fix
Nothing to hide

I'm still here
I'm alive
