TobyMac – Scars (Come With Livin’)
“Scars (Come With Livin’)” by TobyMac is a heartfelt song about pain, loneliness, and the reminder that no one walks through life unbroken.
With lines like “When life cuts so deep, try and remember… You’re not alone, we’ve all been there,” the song speaks directly to those feeling isolated by depression, loss, or struggle, offering empathy and hope.
The refrain, “Lift your head to where your help comes from,” points listeners to God as the source of strength, while the honest admission, “I’m oversimplifying,” acknowledges that real pain can’t be fixed with easy answers.
LYRICS
Had you on my mind
I had a little time
I know we kinda overdue
Turning back the pages
To our younger days
Yeah, I can still imagine you
Boomin’ like the thunder
Chasin’ life with wonder
With fire that could light a room
Bottom kinda fell out
Waited for the rebound
But you never made a move
When life cuts so deep
Try and remember
You, you’re not alone
We’ve all been there
Scars come with livin’
You, you’re not alone
We’ve all been there
So, lift your head, lift your head
Lift your head to where your help comes from
You, you’re are not alone
We’ve all been there
Scars come with livin’
Life ain’t got no sequel
We all broken people
The only road to found is lost
Oversimplifying
Ain’t no shame in trying
Passion never counts the cost
Now you won’t take my phone calls
You won’t text me back at all
I just wanna see you
I can’t stand to see you gone
Yesterday I missed you
Yesterday I played your song
I’m oversimplifying
I’m oversimplifying
It doesn’t matter who you are
This world gon’ leave some battle scars
