Scars Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're not the only one who's feeling broken
You're not the only one who feels alone (No, no)
You're not the only one who's feeling hopeless
You're not the only one without a home

[Pre-Chorus]
Let go of all the emotion
Cutting you open
Stop throwing salt in your wounds
Take a second and breathe
That might be all that you need
Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know it?

[Chorus]
We all got scars
We all get hurt sometimes
We all got scars
Yours are the same as mine
We fall apart
We all get hurt sometimes
We all got scars
Yours are the same as mine

[Verse 2]
Your scars are there to show you that you're human
Even when you wish they'd wash away
I can feel you must be going through it
It's like nobody understands your pain
[Pre-Chorus]
Let go of all the emotion
Cutting you open
Stop throwing salt in your wounds
Take a second and breathe
That might be all that you need
Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know it?

[Chorus]
We all got scars
We all get hurt sometimes
We all got scars
Yours are the same as mine
We fall apart
We all get hurt sometimes
We all got scars
Yours are the same as mine

[Bridge]
Your scars are there to show yourself
You survived the pain you felt
Underneath it all
You know who you are
And they might never go away
But fade a little every day
Underneath it all
You know who you are
[Chorus]
We all got scars
We all get hurt sometimes
We all got scars
Yours are the same as mine
We fall apart
We all get hurt sometimes
We all got scars
Yours are the same as mine

[Outro]
(We all got scars)
(All got scars)
We all got scars

What did Lukas Graham say about "Scars"?
Genius Answer

“Scars” was released during the coronavirus-pandemic which haunted most of the world at the time. Because of that, Lukas Graham had a special message following the release of the song posted on all of their social media:

As a lot of you, I’m at home with my family right now. For the past week I’ve had time to reflect on my past and in particular the present. Don’t forget that we’re in this together and our actions right now affect our neighbors. [The song] is about the hardest moments in life that we all go through as humans. The physical and emotional challenges that make us who we are. Again, don’t forget that we’re all in this together.
