The Lyrics
I spent years trying to cover the cracks
Hiding every mark like I owed somebody an apology for my past
Thought the broken parts of me meant I didn't measure up
Turns out that's the exact place the healing started
So go ahead and look close
I'm not hiding anymore
What almost took me out
Is the reason I'm standing here, singing it loud
These scars, they're not my shame
They're the proof of everything I survived
This is what redemption looks like
Beauty clawing its way back to life
He took the worst thing that happened to me
And made it the reason somebody believes
So I'll wear em proud, I'll hold em high
Look what love did, look what love did with my life
Oh oh, beauty from the broken
Oh oh, every chain is open
Look what He did, look what He did in me
Oh oh, I'm redeemed, I'm free
Now I don't flinch when somebody asks me where I've been
I'll tell em every chapter, even the ones that almost ended me
Cause somebody still drowning in the dark I crawled out of
Needs to see I made it, needs to know there's a way up
So go ahead and look close
I've got nothing left to hide
What was meant to bury me
Became the very thing keeping somebody alive
These scars, they're not my shame
They're the proof of everything I survived
This is what redemption looks like
Beauty clawing its way back to life
He took the worst thing that happened to me
And made it the reason somebody believes
So I'll wear em proud, I'll hold em high
Look what love did, look what love did with my life
Oh oh beauty from the broken
Oh oh every chain is open
Look what He did, look what He did in me
Oh oh I'm redeemed, I'm free
Not wasted, not for nothing
Every tear, every scar, every fight
He was writing a comeback
The whole entire time
Not wasted, not for nothing
Look at me now, I'm alive, I'm alive
Look what love did
Look what love did with my life
