Scars And Second Chances

I've been broke, I've been bent, I've been down on the floor
Knocked on heaven's gate, but it don't open no more
The bottle's been a brother, the night's been a friend
But they never tell the truth, just the means to an end

Mama said, "Son, every wound's gonna show
But a scar just means you made it farther than most"
I wear mine like a story, carved in my skin
Every line a reminder of where I've been

These are scars and second chances
Every fall, every fight, every broken romance
The road don't care, it just rolls on
And you learn what's right from what went wrong
I ain't the same, but I still stand
With scars and second chances in my hands

I've loved deep, I've lost hard, I've prayed in the dark
Watched the flame burn out, still kept a spark
The mirror don't lie, but it don't tell it all
'Cause the man I am rose after every fall

These are scars and second chances
Every mile, every trial, every circumstance
The wind don't ask, it just blows through
And the fire don't stop till it burns you true
I ain't the same, but I still stand
With scars and second chances in my hands

There's a beauty in the broken, a grace in the fight
There's a song in the silence of the loneliest night
If I fall again, I'll get back up
'Cause the hardest roads teach the truest love

These are scars and second chances
Every loss, every cross, every reckless dance
The night don't bend, it just fades slow
And the past don't leave, but it helps you grow
I ain't the same, but I still stand
With scars and second chances in my hands

Yeah
Scars and second chances in my hands
