Scars where you can't see

I have scars where you can't see.
I have bruises that do not show.
If it has happened to you, you know.
There are some things that you can't see.

It's here in my memory.
It's there in your soul.
It's where you can not see.
Scars where you can't see.

It frightens you, you're scared to death.
Things were out of your control.
The pain, the bite, the screaming fear.
This thing I could not see.

It's not your fault.
You tried your best.
Yet still it's there, out of your sight.
Scars where you can't see.

You have bruises that do not show.
You have scars where I can't see.
It happened to me, I know.
There are just some things that you can not see.
