Even when you thought you had me beat I still found the strength hidden deep within me And I can't, can't ever lose my voice I learned how to block, block out all of the noise And I found my place In the empty spaces where my demons lay No, I don't believe That we as humans were meant to be afraid I wear these scars I own my mistakes; you made me this way I wear these scars I know my mistakes; you can't take that away I wear these scars I wear these scars You can't take that away Away It's so strange that I ended up here And I never thought that I'd make it through these years And I found my place In the empty spaces where my demons lay No, I don't believe That we as humans were meant to be enslaved I wear these scars I own my mistakes; you made me this way I wear these scars I know my mistakes; you can't take that away I wear these scars I wear these scars You can't take that away Most of these scars will fade away But nothing hides the fact that you were my mistake My mistake I wear these scars I own my mistakes; you made me this way I wear these scars I know my mistakes; you can't take that away I wear these scars I wear these scars You can't take that away I don't believe that we're defined by our mistakes (I wear these scars) And I can see that you think you've had all you can take (I wear these scars) I won't believe that we're defined by our mistakes (I wear these scars) I hope you see that you're better off this way
