Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Thank you to anyone who hurt me
This is a shout out to those who never cared
I got scrapes on my heart from all the battles
And I owe you for getting me prepared
[Verse 2]
I tip my hat to all the haters
Got a handshake for lovers from the past
I got a peace sign for all you backstabbers
You're not the first and you sure won't be the last
[Verse 3]
Minute by minute, it took me time, time, time
Letter by letter, it cut me line by line
I'm proud of these scars 'cause they're mine, mine, mine
Mine, mine, mine, oh
[Verse 4]
If it's hurting right now (Right now, right now)
If it's hurting right now (Right now)
It's gon' make us who we are
It's written in the scars
If it's hurting right now (Right now, right now)
If it's burning right now (Right now)
It's gon' make us who we are
It's written in the scars
[Verse 5]
It's written in the scars, yeah
It's written in the scars, yeah
It's written in the scars, yeah
They make us who we are
Who we are, are, who we are, yeah
[Verse 6]
In every one there is some glory
And every scratch is a new tattoo
'Cause those lines on your face, they tell a story
Of how you became, you became you
[Verse 7]
So put your arms around the doubters
And chunk a deuce when they push below the belt
They keep it up for the ones who lit the matches
'Cause you get fire proof from going through hell
[Verse 8]
If it's hurting right now
If it's hurting right now
It's gon' make us who we are
It's written in the scars
If it's hurting right now
If it's burning right now
It's gon' make us who we are
It's written in the scars
[Verse 9]
It's written in the scars, yeah
It's written in the scars, yeah
It's written in the scars, yeah
They make us who we are
Who we are, are, who we are
[Verse 10]
It's written in the scars, yeah
It's written in the scars, yeah
It's written in the scars, yeah
They make us who we are
Who we are, are, who we are, yeah
[Verse 11]
Minute by minute, it took me time, time, time
Letter by letter, it cut me line by line
I'm proud of these scars 'cause they're mine, mine, mine
Mine, mine, mine, oh
[Verse 12]
If it's hurting right now (Right now, right now)
If it's hurting right now (Right now, right now)
It's gon' make us who we are
It's written in the scars
If it's hurting right now (Right now, right now)
If it's burning right now (Right now, right now)
It's gon' make us who we are
It's written in the scars
[Verse 13]
It's written in the scars, yeah
It's written in the scars, yeah
It's written in the scars, yeah
They make us who we are
Who we are, are, who we are
[Verse 14]
It's written in the scars, yeah
It's written in the scars, yeah
It's written in the scars, yeah
They make us who we are
Who we are, are, who we are, yeah
