lyrics

I've been out here for some time now
hearing these waves
breaking down to the ground
I've been out here for some time now
watching these waves
breaking down, to nothing

and sometimes I
feel just like
one of those waves
breaking down and building up again
and sometimes I
feel just like
breaking down and breaking down and

there are scars
on my skin
there are bruises
on my bones
and no, they do not make me less beautiful and no, they do not take away from me

I've been sitting on this bathroom floor alone
letting out all the waves from my soul
I've been sitting on this bathroom floor alone
counting the drops, being let go from my bones

and sometimes I
feel like one of those waves
breaking down and building back up again
and sometimes I
feel like
breaking down and breaking down and

there are scars
on my skin
there are bruises
on my bones
and no, they do not make me less beautiful and no, they do not take away from me

and your scars are, a big part of you
on your skin, just like a tattoo
they hold a part of your story,
don't ever let them go

there are scars
on our skin
there are bruises
on our bones
and no, they do not make us any less beautiful
and no, they do not take away from us
and no, they do not make us any less beautiful
and no, they do not take away from us.
