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 slammin' 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 pretendin' 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 pretendin' when I say

You cleared up my scars

You cleared up my scars

You cleared up my scars

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 pretendin' when I say

You cleared up my scars
