Your Scars - Jodi King

Taking the long way around
And throwing your weight
Against the world
Maybe it turns out white
In spite of the black
You thought you heard
Taking your cues off someone’s perception
Seeking perfection that nobody knows
Hiding yourself in someone’s reflection
It’s not that you’re meant
To be here at all
It’s not that you fall
As long as you know
Chorus
Cut by the wind
Your heart on your sleeve
As long as you’re bleeding
No one else can take your place
Eyes open
Hard to believe
As long as you’re bleeding
No one has the beauty of
Your scars
Burning a bridge back home
When home is the place you need to be
Making a warm heart cold
And breaking the hearts that let you be
Tripping yourself on losing direction
Missing the roses that cover the walls
It’s not that you fall
As long as you know
Chorus
Bridge
The prick of a thorn
The sting of a loss
It’s not that you fall
As long as you know
Chorus
