Hurt and Pain

I forgot I'm forty-seven Thought I

was twenty-three Jumped off that four-foot

wall Like it was nothing to

me

Hit the ground with a hard

reminder That pride comes before the

fall Now every painful step reminds

me I ain't invincible at all

These bruises fade,

these ribs will mend This aching

foot will heal again Time will

patch what eyes can see But

who's gonna heal the hurt in

me?

Oh, the hurt and pain will

fade away

Like the shadows of a stormy

day

Every scar is just a place

we've been Not the place where

our story ends

I've carried things I never showed

Down every long and winding road

Learned how to laugh,

learned how to hide The things

that still hurt deep inside Some

scars don't show upon the skin

They're buried somewhere deep within

Yeah, the sun will find a

way to shine

Even through the darkest times

Some old scars call my name

And I found ways to numb

the pain

Maybe healing ain't forgetting

Maybe scars are meant to stay

Maybe speaking what we're hiding Takes

a little weight away I don't

have all the answers I'm still

learning as I go But maybe

we don't have to carry All

this hurting on our own

Oh, the hurt and pain may

fade away Like the shadows of

a stormy day Every scar is

just a place we've been Not

the place where our story ends

I may stumble,

I may fall But I don't

have to give it all These

scars are part of who I've

been But they don't decide how

my story ends
