Thank you to anyone who hurt me
This is a shout out to those who never cared
I got scrapes on my heart from all the battles
And I owe you for getting me prepared
I tip my hat to all the haters
Got a handshake for lovers from the past
I got a peace sign for all you backstabbers
You're not the first and you sure won't be the last

Minute by minute, it took me time, time, time
Letter by letter, it cut me line by line
I'm proud of these scars 'cause they're mine, mine, mine
Mine, mine, mine, oh

[:: CHORUS ::]
If it's hurting right now (right now, right now)
If it's hurting right now (right now)
It's gon' make us who we are
It's written in the scars
If it's hurting right now (right now, right now)
If it's burning right now (right now)
It's gon' make us who we are
It's written in the scars

It's written in the scars, yeah
It's written in the scars, yeah
It's written in the scars, yeah
It's gon' make us who we are
