about
First single I released means this is the first song on my live acoustic EP! I wrote this song about 2 months after losing my father to suicide. It was the song that made me realize that this is what I want to do with the rest of my life.
lyrics
V1
No matter what I do I’m a broken man,
The past always haunts us, but now I understand,
These memories of pain are a blessing in disguise,
Without them our scars would be nothing but lines,
C1
Don’t make them be who you are,
Everyone’s got the same old scars,
We’ve all been beaten down the same,
So all you can do is love yourself, you’re not the one to blame,
No you’re not the one to blame,
V2
When I lost my father I nearly lost my head,
How can someone I love so dear be so soon laid to rest,
He told me not to settle so now I do believe,
That thanks to you father I’m following my dreams,
C2
Sure things still get hard,
They still do to this day,
But I use his story as reminder,
That things don’t have to be this way,
No they don’t have to be this way,
Bridge
I know it isn’t easy, I know it makes you choke,
But that’s what makes us human and stronger with the hopes,
Of never digging our own graves too early in our lives,
Just loving one another in hopes the other might,
Take from this and learn from this,
And hold each other close, just know
Final Chorus
Don’t make it be who you are,
Everyone’s got the same old scars,
Keep them there as a reminder,
That each one though it pains us it only makes us stronger,
Just believe x 3
