Scars Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can pretend that I don't see you
I can pretend I don't wanna hold you when you're around
When you're around
I can say that nothing was right
But we know if I looked in your eyes, I'd break down
Yeah, let's break down
[Chorus]
If I could have just one night to be with you, to make it right
To what we were and what we are is hidden in the scars
If I could take you there
I won’t let go of this, I swear
You won't have to wonder what we are
'Cause you won't have to ever look too far; it's in the scars
It's hidden in the scars
[Verse 2]
If I told you that I loved you
But I'm doin' alright without you, it'd be a lie
But I could try
I'd run a thousand miles, believing
You're the only one I want to free me to break down
Yeah, let's break down
[Chorus]
If I could have just one night to be with you
To make it right
To what we were and what we are is hidden in the scars
If I could take you there
I won't let go of this, I swear
You won't have to wonder what we are
'Cause you won't have to ever look too far; it's in the scars (Oh-oh)
I can pretend that I don't see you
I can pretend I don't wanna hold you when you're around
When you're around
I can say that nothing was right
But we know if I looked in your eyes, I'd break down
Yeah, let's break down
[Chorus]
If I could have just one night to be with you, to make it right
To what we were and what we are is hidden in the scars
If I could take you there
I won’t let go of this, I swear
You won't have to wonder what we are
'Cause you won't have to ever look too far; it's in the scars
It's hidden in the scars
[Verse 2]
If I told you that I loved you
But I'm doin' alright without you, it'd be a lie
But I could try
I'd run a thousand miles, believing
You're the only one I want to free me to break down
Yeah, let's break down
[Chorus]
If I could have just one night to be with you
To make it right
To what we were and what we are is hidden in the scars
If I could take you there
I won't let go of this, I swear
You won't have to wonder what we are
'Cause you won't have to ever look too far; it's in the scars (Oh-oh)
[Bridge]
Yeah, I'll tell you all my secrets
All the ones I've kept inside
And I'll give you all the reasons that you faded from my life
I won't let you go, baby, come here close
I won't let you walk away
[Chorus]
If I could have just one night to be with you, to make it right
To what we were and what we are is hidden in the scars
If I could take you there
I won't let go, baby, this I swear
You won't have to wonder what we are
'Cause you won't have to ever look too far; it's in the scars
It's hidden in the scars
[Post-Chorus]
It's hidden in the scars
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
I can pretend that I don't see you
And I can pretend I don't wanna hold you when you're around
Yeah, I'll tell you all my secrets
All the ones I've kept inside
And I'll give you all the reasons that you faded from my life
I won't let you go, baby, come here close
I won't let you walk away
[Chorus]
If I could have just one night to be with you, to make it right
To what we were and what we are is hidden in the scars
If I could take you there
I won't let go, baby, this I swear
You won't have to wonder what we are
'Cause you won't have to ever look too far; it's in the scars
It's hidden in the scars
[Post-Chorus]
It's hidden in the scars
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
I can pretend that I don't see you
And I can pretend I don't wanna hold you when you're around
About
Genius Annotation
“Scars” is a song about pretending that everything is okay, but isn’t and wanting the relationship start again.
On June 11th, 2019, Cyrus brought up her 10-year-old song, Scars. She wrote on her Instagram story,
“I remember how I felt writing this …. a lot of pain and heartbreak …. didn’t know where to put all that hurt … and sometimes I made choices that were not WORTHY, I didn’t know I was greater than what I was going thru. That’s just growing up I guess. I was a young girl with more power than I knew how to use for good….. wish I could go back and tell me it’s gonna be okay and I was loved……”
