Scrapes & Scars

[Intro]
O, B

[Chorus: Zach Paradis]
We fall so hard
We can't get up again
Open our scars
And learn to love again
I don't wanna face it, but I can't erase it
Can you love me still?
I don't wanna fake it, no I can't erase it
Can you love me still?

[Verse 1: Corey Wise]
When I was ten was when my mom divorced my dad
I was stuck inside a house without a father, I was sad
Partly glad
I mean now I get to do my own thing
No more lectures on my future, I can be my own king
I can stay up all night
Watchin' TV, live the dream
Until a strange new pleasure made its way up on the screen
Man I had a couple crushes, nothin' real, nothin' secret
But this the first time I ever saw a woman naked
From this day on, stayed up late
Playin' every single tape
Even found a DVD that I would hide behind the drapes
Summer of freshman year
You could smell it in the air
All the homies losin' V-cards, the pressure got me scared
I ain't really wanna do it
But my friends said I was goofy
Plus some people weren't scared that I was watchin' in the movies
So I did it
I'm free
Not a virgin anymore
But why the chasin' after riches make me feel so poor?
I need it more

[Chorus: Zach Paradis]
We fall so hard
We can't get up again
Open our scars
And learn to love again
I don't wanna face it, but I can't erase it
Can you love me still?
I don't wanna fake it, no I can't erase it
Can you love me still?

[Verse 2: Corey Wise]
Fast forward and now I'm married
Got two daughters, life is straight
Except the people in my life, didn't know about the weight
That I carried, I'm married, but got dirty secrets buried
I been lyin' for so long, that it's really gettin' scary
From ten to twenty-two, I was in too deep
Loving father in the day but watchin' porn when she asleep
Got a text when I was drivin', I can't lie man, it was blindin'
She said she found the proof about the secrets I was hidin'
I'll never forget the day, thought I lost my wife
Honestly that day, man I'd rather lost my life
She kicked me out, first thing that I did, Was go to church
[?] playin' all the tears and man I started feelin' worse
Not a man, I'm just worthless
Condemnation, I deserve it
Think the Gospel as a whole, this was the first day that I heard it
'Cause I knew I wasn't changin', my behavior needs a savior
I can't take this on my own, need a god that hears prayers
And He did

[Chorus: Zach Paradis]
We fall so hard
We can't get up again
Open our scars
And learn to love again
I don't wanna face it, but I can't erase it
Can you love me still?
I don't wanna fake it, no I can't erase it
Can you love me still?

[Outro: Corey Wise]
I'm twenty-eight, and my mistakes have all been lost
They've been taken from my hands, and nailed to the cross
When Jesus rose again, He defeated my sin
Who woulda thought the scrapes and scars would've brought me to Him?
I was lost but now I'm found, but when drownin' in sin
Who woulda thought the scrapes and scars would've brought me to Him?
When Jesus rose, again, He defeated my sin
Who woulda thought the scrapes and scars would've brought me to Him?
Not me
