Hey you, outstanding, what's on your mind?
When you ventured out last time, what did you find?
Did you get hurt out there under the watching sun?
So now you'll just stay in and sulk like you're the only one

Every time you try, there's a chance that you'll get hurt
But every time you hurt, you heal
And every time you heal, you scar
Your scars make you who you are, who you are

Hey you, wall flower, don't you want to dance?
We're all out here on the floor, why not take a chance?
Are you embarrassed at what you've become?
How the world shapes you cannot be undone

Every time you try, there's a chance that you'll get hurt
But every time you hurt, you heal
And every time you heal, you scar
Your scars make you who you are, who you are

Just jump into the water, put it into gear
We both know that the only thing that keeps you back is fear
Those marks that you're left with prove where you've been
Why hide them from the world, let them be seen

Every time you try, there's a chance that you'll get hurt
But every time you hurt, you heal
And every time you heal, you scar
Your scars make you who you are
Your scars make you who you are, who you are
