(Verse 1)
Sunlight streams through a broken door
I don’t look at the shadows anymore
Dusting off the weight of yesterday
Finding keys to lock the pain away
Every line etched upon my skin
Is just the place where the light gets in
Step outside into the crisp clean air
Breathing out the ghost of old despair
(Pre-Chorus)
Oh, the past is a map where I used to hide
But the road ahead is open wide
I’m letting go of what I used to be
And setting all my heavy heartbreaks free
(Chorus)
I leave the scars left open to the sun
Healing has finally begun
Every mark is a beautiful line
Proof that I fought and the victory is mine
Yeah, the wind is blowing through the pain
Turning my losses into gain
Scars left open to the sky
Watch me spread my wings and fly
(Verse 2)
Wheels are spinning on the highway track
Green grass growing, no more looking back
Guitar strums like a steady heartbeat
Dancing wild in the summer heat
Used to think a wound would seal my fate
Now I see it as an open gate
Every milestone is a brand new start
With a fearless, unbreakable heart
(Pre-Chorus)
Oh, the past is a map where I used to hide
But the road ahead is open wide
I’m letting go of what I used to be
And setting all my heavy heartbreaks free
(Chorus)
I leave the scars left open to the sun
Healing has finally begun
Every mark is a beautiful line
Proof that I fought and the victory is mine
Yeah, the wind is blowing through the pain
Turning my losses into gain
Scars left open to the sky
Watch me spread my wings and fly
(Bridge)
They aren't reminders of the night or the fall
They are the windows showing I survived it all
Air in my lungs, the horizon is clear
There is no room left for the doubt or the fear
We are gold, we are bright
Shining out in the daylight
(Chorus)
I leave the scars left open to the sun
Healing has finally begun
Every mark is a beautiful line
Proof that I fought and the victory is mine
Yeah, the wind is blowing through the pain
Turning my losses into gain
Scars left open to the sky
Watch me spread my wings and fly
(Outro)
Scars left open to the sun
Look at how far we have run
The future is bright, the sky is so blue
Scars left open, making me new
Yeah, watch me fly
Open to the sky
