I realize the screaming pain
Hearing loud in my brain
But I’m going straight ahead with the scar
“Better to forget, better to go numb”
I put a lid on my scraped heart
“I don’t mind the hurt cause I don’t feel the pain anymore”
As I limp away
I lost sight of myself, and I
Collapsed with a clatter
Before I knew it, there was only the wind to be heard…
I followed your scars to let you know
Before you were crushed by the world
Do you remember that sky filled with tears
That pain has protected you
This pain is what always protects you
“Kindness that seeks not to hurt is more important than having the strength not to be hurt”
That voice carried a hint of sorrow
Like buttons that were done up wrong
The heart had left the body
Seize your heart once again
I followed your scars to come to let you know
Before you were crushed by the world
Do you remember that sky filled with tears
That pain has protected you
This pain is what always protects you
That sound of someone crying I once heard was
No doubt, my own
Everything happened for this moment…
I guess I knew from the start
Please don’t ever let me go again
You realized this was my sign to you
That pain has protected you
I followed your scars to let you know
That if that was the case, there was nothing to fear anymore
Don’t forget the reason behind that smile
That pain has protected you
That pain has protected you
This pain is what always protects you
