[Verse 1]
Today feels like it might be
The wrong day for me to die.
I’ve been spending too much time
Believing in self-created lies.
And words are just words
Until they're put in to work.
And I’m standing so firm in this, firm in this.

[Chorus]
Leave a mark upon the world,
Not across your arms.
A mark upon the world
Too beautiful for scars.

[Verse 2]
I can only hold up half the sky at one time,
And I got through today so I could help you sleep at night.
I feel a tired and my eyes trying to find the sunrise,
And I’m learning that life is getting through the night.

[Chorus:]
Leave a mark upon the world,
Not across your arms.
A mark upon the world
Too beautiful for scars.

[Hook]
I understand you.
A track record of track marks,
A small collection of stories
That never get told again.
I understand you.
Take pride in all the marks upon your soul.
Oh, they should show you you've been through a hell of a life alone.

[Chorus]
Leave a mark upon the world,
Not across your arms.
A mark upon the world,
Too beautiful for scars.
Leave a mark upon the world,
Not across your arms.
A mark upon the world,
Too beautiful for scars.
