Lyrics
[Intro – soft piano arpeggios, faint rain ambience]
Streetlights bleed through cracked window panes
Silence hums the songs we can’t explain
[Chorus – breathy female vocals, gentle string swells]
We carry scars we never show
Bury the words we don’t want to know
Every night we fight the ghost that won’t let go
These are the scars we hide, alone
[Verse 1 – gritty male rap, muted 808, piano continues]
I stare at the ceiling, clock ticks three a.m.
Flashbacks hit like a fist to the chin
Momma’s voice screaming, daddy’s bottle clinking
I learned to shut up before I even started thinking
Locked my feelings in a box, threw away the key
Pretended I was fine, but the pain’s a parasite in me
Friends say I’m cold, say I don’t care
But I’m scared if I let it out, I’ll disappear
[Chorus – layered female vocals, slightly louder strings]
We carry scars we never show
Bury the words we don’t want to know
Every night we fight the ghost that won’t let go
These are the scars we hide, alone
[Verse 2 – urgent male rap, subtle snare roll, piano intensifies]
She left a note on the counter, said she couldn’t take it
Said my walls were too high, my heart was vacant
I stood there frozen, couldn’t even speak
Watched her drive away, felt my soul leak
I drink to forget, but the memories stick
Like glue to a wound, like a tick to a sick
I act like a tough guy, but I’m just a kid
Trapped in a body that’s been broken and rid
[Chorus – full female vocals, soaring strings, light drum beat]
We carry scars we never show
Bury the words we don’t want to know
Every night we fight the ghost that won’t let go
These are the scars we hide, alone
[Bridge – stripped back piano, vulnerable male spoken-word rap]
I called her yesterday, but she didn’t pick up
Left a message, said I’m sorry, but I know it’s not enough
I’m tired of running, tired of being strong
Tired of pretending that I don’t belong
Maybe one day I’ll let the light in
Maybe one day I’ll stop hiding my sin
[Chorus – duet of female vocals and male rap ad-libs, full instrumental swell]
We carry scars we never show
Bury the words we don’t want to know
Every night we fight the ghost that won’t let go
These are the scars we hide, alone
[Outro – fading piano, soft female hum]
Scars we hide, alone
Scars we hide, alone
