Dancing With My Scars
Verse 1
I still hear echoes in the hallway
Of words you never took back
Some nights I taste the silence
Some days I wear the past
I tried to bury every memory
But they learned how to breathe
Guess some ghosts don’t haunt you
They just walk beside your feet
Pre-Chorus
I used to fight the shadows
Tried to run from who I was
Now I turn the pain into rhythm
Turn the hurt into a pulse
Chorus
I’m dancing with my scars
Spinning in the dark
I don’t need to be perfect to be strong
I’m dancing with my scars
They made me who I am
Broken parts still know the words to move on
I’m not healed, but I’m alive
Not fearless, but I survived
I’m dancing with my scars tonight
Verse 2
I still remember being younger
Thinking love would save my soul
Didn’t know some hearts are hurricanes
Disguised as something warm
I gave pieces I can’t get back
But I learned how to rebuild
Every crack became a window
Every tear taught me to feel
Pre-Chorus
I don’t hide from the mirror
I don’t flinch at my reflection
Every line tells a story
Of a war I didn’t mention
Chorus
I’m dancing with my scars
Spinning in the dark
I don’t need to be perfect to be strong
I’m dancing with my scars
They made me who I am
Broken parts still know the words to move on
I’m not healed, but I’m alive
Not fearless, but I survived
I’m dancing with my scars tonight
Bridge
Some days I fall apart
Some nights I feel okay
Healing isn’t straight lines
It’s a slow, messy ballet
I won’t pretend I’m fine
I won’t pretend I’m whole
But I won’t stop moving forward
With this fire in my soul
Final Chorus
I’m dancing with my scars
Under fading stars
I carry every mile inside my heart
I’m dancing with my scars
They don’t own my life
They just prove I made it through the dark
I’m still here, I’m still alive
Still learning how to fly
I’m dancing with my scars tonight
Outro
Yeah, I’m dancing
Yeah, I’m dancing with my scars
