  • Cover my acne scars
    Hide my stretch marks
    Hide the ugliest parts of myself
    And I've lived in fear for so many years
    That I would never be enough

    But now I'm standing strong like I never was
    Now I'm feeling like I'm worth love
    Then it hits me, lord above
    And maybe it's not worth it
    And no one needed perfect anymore

    I have learned to trust and listen to my gut
    And find the gold in rust of my scars
    And you have held me down and I'm rising now
    'Cause you don't know the things I'm made of

    But now I'm standing strong like I never was
    Now I'm feeling like I'm worthy of love
    Then it hits me like a drug
    And maybe it's not worth it
    And no, one needed perfect, oh

    My scars fill with gold it's
    So much more than broken
    My heart is wide open, oh, oh

    My scars fill with gold it's
    So much more than broken
    My heart is wide open

    And now I'm standing strong like I never was
    Now I'm feeling like I'm worth love
    Then it hits me, Lord above
    Maybe it's not worth it
    And no one needed perfect anymore Writer/s: Ewan Phillips, Freya Ridings
