Scars

Sam Smith

This is for my mother, from the older brother of your children

Made of three

Now you found your lover 'cause it wasn't our father who

Made you laugh and happy

It's been a long five years, I've cried a thousand tears and here

We are after the war

But we're so much better now the skies are clearer, now

There's no more slamming doors

Now I say

Dear Mother, how you've come so far

Your love has fixed all of our broken hearts

I hope you're proud, Mother, of what you've done

It's a lifelong lesson and I'm not pretending when I say

You cleared up my scars

You cleared up my scars

This is for my father, from the older brother of your children

Made of three

Yeah you've been so good to us and showed us how to live and

Taught us to be free

But when Mother told you that she didn't love you all these

Bridges hit the sea

So you built another one and helped us cross it even

Though you were in need

Now I say

Dear Father, how you've come so far

Your love has fixed all of our broken hearts

I hope you're proud, Father, of what you've done

It's a lifelong lesson and I'm not pretending when I say

You cleared up my scars

You cleared up my scars

You cleared up my scars

You cleared up my scars

Dear Mother, how you've come so far

Your love has fixed all of our broken hearts

I hope you're proud, Mother, of what you've done

It's a lifelong lesson and I'm not pretending when I say

You cleared up my scars
