Writer: Bryan Fowler, Toby McKeehan, Cole Walowac
No, no
Yeah I’m
Just beepin’ right now
I gotta go
Hey
Had you on my mind
Had a little time
Know we kinda overdue
Turnin’ back the pages
To our younger days, yeah
I can still imagine you
Boomin’ like a thunder
Chasin’ life with wonder
With fire that could light a room
Bottom kinda fell out
Waited for the rebound
But you never made a move
When life cuts so deep
Try and remember
You are not alone
We’ve all been there
Scars come with livin’
You are not alone
We’ve all been there (been there, been there, oh), oh
So lift your head, lift your head
Lift your head to where your help comes from
Yeah, you, you’re not alone
We’ve all been there
Scars come with livin’
Life ain’t got no sequel
We all broken people
The only road to found is lost
Over simplifyin’
Ain’t no shame in tryin’
Passion never counts the cost
Now you won’t take my phone calls
You won’t text me back at all
I just wanna see you
I can’t stand to see you gone
Yesterday I missed you
Yesterday I played your song
I’m over simplifyin’, I’m over simplifyin’
But try and remember
You are not alone
We’ve all been there
Scars come with livin’
You are not alone
We’ve all been there (been there, been there, oh), oh
So lift your head, lift your head
Lift your head to where your help comes from
Yeah, you, you’re not alone
We’ve all been there
Scars come with livin’
(Scars come, scars come, oh, scars come
Oh, scars come with livin’
Scars come, scars come, oh, scars come
Oh, scars come with livin’)
It doesn’t matter who you are
This world gon’ leave some battle scars
It doesn’t matter who you are
This world gon’ leave some battle scars
It doesn’t matter who you are
This world gon’ leave some battle scars
It doesn’t matter who you are
This world gon’ leave some battle scars
You, you’re not alone
We’ve all been there
Scars come with livin’
You, you’re not alone, you’re not alone
So lift your head up
To where your help comes from
Lift your head up
Oh, scars come with livin’
Lift your head up
To where your help comes from
Lift your head up
Oh, scars come with livin’, (lift your head up)
It doesn’t matter who you are
This world gon’ leave some battle scars
It doesn’t matter who you are
This world gon’ leave some battle scars
It doesn’t matter who you are
This world gon’ leave some battle scars
Scars Song Meaning

Biblical Message
Psalm 121:1–2 locates help in the Lord. Psalm 34:18 says He is near the brokenhearted, and Galatians 6:2 calls believers to carry one another’s burdens.
Reflection
Scars tell the truth about pain, but they need not tell the whole future. Healing often begins when isolation ends.
