Scars To Prove It

I've been told I make it look easy I've been the golden girl, on a pedestal, I've been everybody's rising star But those red lipstick smiles never came naturally And I never thought my heels or heart would make it this far Cause day by day I try to be perfect But no one sees What's under the surface I built a home Of sticks and stones and you can't tell How well I know The long road in and out of hell Cause where I've been You better have thick skin Yeah I kept moving through The bullets and the bruises And I got the scars to prove it I've learned to find comfort when it's storming Crashing waves, and hurricanes, they just feed my soul And when that sun breaks through without a warning It reminds me that theres another day to grow Those ups and downs I hardly notice I'm getting good at dodging What they're throwing I built a home Of sticks and stones and you can't tell How well I know The long road in and out of hell Cause where I've been You better have thick skin Yeah I kept moving through The bullets and the bruises And I got the scars to prove it I built a home Of sticks and stones and you can't tell How well I know The long road in and out of hell Cause where I've been You better have thick skin Yeah I kept moving through The bullets and the bruises And I got the scars to prove it
