You don't know what I've been through, you don't know how I've strived
To put an end to this madness which kept me alive.
The pressure is poison, the sight of it's pain,
I no longer feel tempted to leave my red stain.
I'm fixed now, I'm stronger, but there's Miles to go
To get to the point when I know that I'll know
That it's more than a phase, but it shouldn't consume
Your whole life, there are things in life that you can choose
I will know ending things is an unpleasant way
To battle the hurt that I fought every day
My heart soars and leaps, it dances about
How good it does feel to just let it all out
In ways that are healthy, in ways that are safe
You struggled in past but now have stronger faith
In yourself, which is good, it will help you to heal
Those scars won't define you, you'll be someone real
The bracelets will break and the shirt sleeves will go
To a place far away, you will understand though
That your scars don't define you, they're a battle you fought
And sometimes the battles mean more than the not
