Less Like Scars

Sara Groves

It's been a hard year 
But I'm climbing out of the rubble 
These lessons are hard 
Healing changes are subtle 
But every day it's 

Less like tearing, more like building 
Less like captive, more like willing 
Less like breakdown, more like surrender 
Less like haunting, more like remember 

And I feel you here 
And you're picking up the pieces 
Forever faithful 
It seemed out of my hands, a bad situation 
But you are able 
And in your hands the pain and hurt 
Look less like scars and more like 
Character 

Less like a prison, more like my room 
It's less like a casket, more like a womb 
Less like dying, more like transcending 
Less like fear, less like an ending 

And I feel you here 
And you're picking up the pieces 
Forever faithful 
It seemed out of my hands, a bad situation 
But you are able 
And in your hands the pain and hurt 
Look less like scars 

Just a little while ago 
I couldn't feel the power or the hope 
I couldn't cope, I couldn't feel a thing 
Just a little while back 
I was desperate, broken, laid out, hoping 
You would come 

And I need you 
And I want you here 
And I feel you 

And I know you're here 
And you're picking up the pieces 
Forever faithful 
It seemed out of my hands, a bad, bad situation 
But you are able 

And in your hands the pain and hurt 
Look less like scars (3x) 

And more like 
Character
