Lyrics

Couldn't keep the swelling down after each mighty blow
Damage that I've taken is more than you'll ever know
Marking up my body like a priceless work of art
Blackening like charcoal setting fire to my heart
Time will not give me a break so
Why should it care if I ache
These wounds don't ever seem to heal
Can you really live if you don't feel
Throw the fight stitch me up
Pretend that I'm enough
After my fears come true
You'll color me in shades of blue
Hold me up high above the ground
Staggering but not down and out
In this life there are no excuses
Give a smile as you count the bruises
Trying everything to keep from losing all my strength
But the universe keeps pulling me at such great length
Wear me down until it becomes way too hard to breathe
Falling to the concrete bravery is skin deep
Time cannot correct the past but
I will prove I'm built to last
These scars just show how far I've come
Stretching over me but feel so numb
Throw the fight stitch me up
Pretend that I'm enough
After my fears come true
You'll color me in shades of blue
Quit playing games with yourself now it's never better
But you're far from your last bow it doesn't matter
If you're broken from self-doubt find the pattern
Turn it into something beautiful
Hold me up high above the ground
Staggering but not down and out
In this life there are no excuses
Give a smile as you count the bruises
Keep in mind when you're sick of it
You can be your own ultimate
In this life there are no excuses
Give a smile as you count the bruises
I'm enough
