Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Burned my hands just chasing gold,
Traded my peace for lies I was sold.
Built my house outta broken plans,
Learned too late — it was sinking sand.
[Pre-Chorus]
Spent too many nights thinking fear was a friend,
Turns out it was just dead weight in the end.
[Chorus]
If I knew then what these scars know now,
I’d have laughed at the storms, not bowed down.
All that running, all that fight,
Just shadows picking stupid fights.
I wore worry like a badge of pride,
But it never saved me, just stole my time.
[Verse 2]
Poured my hope into empty wells,
Kissed the lips of every goodbye I held.
Cried over things that never cried for me,
Built my own cage and swallowed the key.
[Pre-Chorus]
Held my breath waiting for the sky to fall,
Funny how nothing happened at all.
[Chorus]
If I knew then what these scars know now,
I’d have laughed at the storms, not bowed down.
All that running, all that fight,
Just shadows picking stupid fights.
I wore worry like a badge of pride,
But it never saved me, just stole my time.
[Bridge]
Maybe the cracks were the only way,
To let this twisted light find its way.
Maybe the wreck was part of the plan,
Not every fall needs a place to land.
[Final Chorus]
If I knew then what these scars know now,
I’d have stood barefoot on shaky ground.
All that fear, all that doubt,
Just noise I should’ve shut out.
I wore the world like it owed me dues,
Now I just walk on — in worn-out shoes.
[Outro]
Worn-out shoes...
Still carried me through.
