Lyrics The Word Alive

The Word Alive

Made This Way

[Verse 1]

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.

[Pre-Chorus]

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!

[Chorus]

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!

[Verse 2]

It's so strange that I ended up here,

And I never thought I'd make it through these years.

[Pre-Chorus]

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!

[Chorus]

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!

[Bridge]

Most of these scars will fade away,

But nothing hides the fact that you were my mistake,

My mistake!

[Chorus]

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!

[Outro]

I don't believe that we're defined by our mistakes (I wear these scares!),

And I can see that you think you've had all you can take (I wear these scares!).

I won't believe that we're defined by our mistakes (I wear these scares!),

I hope you see that, you're better off this way!
