Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Write your name upon me, Rebecca
Leave your mark in the old bark, like a love letter
Trace your fingers along the scars
Where the cold steel blade tried to cut me down
[Chorus]
They will never truly heal
I can feel them
They will never truly heal
But I can seal them
They will never truly heal
But here I am
And I am still growing
[Verse 2]
Wrap your arms around me, Rebecca
Climb as high as you can, and we'll seek the light together
Trace your fingers along the scars
Where the cold steel blade tried to cut me down
[Chorus]
They will never truly heal
I can feel them
They will never truly heal
But I can seal them
They will never truly heal
But here I am
And I am still growing
[Verse 3]
Dream your dreams upon me, Rebecca
Let's look over the black ridge and face the weather
Trace your fingers along the scars
Where the cold steel blade tried to cut me down
[Chorus]
They will never truly heal
I can feel them
They will never truly heal
But I can seal them
They will never truly heal
But here I am
[Chorus]
They will never truly heal
I can feel them
They will never truly heal
But I can seal them
They will never truly heal
But here I am
And I am still growing
I am still going
[Outro]
Write your name upon me, Rebecca
