CHORUS 1:
We have our scars, we wear them well.
We have our scars, we wear them well.
We have no time to heal ourselves.
We have no time to heal ourselves.
VERSE 1:
You say you don't give your name out to strangers,
You feel that it's safer that way.
I say, “I'll just call you ‘Lois' and hope that we meet 
again someday,
When the pain has gone away.”
CHORUS 2:
We have our scars, we wear them well (why don't we 
throw them away?).
We have our scars, we wear them well (why don't we 
throw them away?).
It takes some time to heal ourselves (why don't we 
throw them away?).
It takes some time to heal ourselves.
VERSE 2:
Love is sad,
She said the ink I'd collected were signs I'd accept 
the pain she's had.
It went over my head in the moment but I knew I'd 
understand someday.
VERSE 3:
I lay next to a beautiful stranger, ignoring the danger 
I'm bound to face.
If I could just let go, release my will, accept my 
fate,
The pain would go away.
CHORUS 3:
We have our scars, we wear them well (why don't we 
throw them away?).
We have our scars, we wear them well (why don't we 
throw them away?).
It takes some time to heal ourselves (why don't we 
throw them away?).
It takes some time to heal ourselves (why don't we 
throw them away?).
