I don't know that you'll listen
It won't take very long
And I'm not counting on closure
But at least I've got a song
Maybe I'm fine with the silence
I guess it's helping me heal
But you should keep all those photos of us
'Cause the feelings inside were so real
This is my benediction
For the time that we shared
Through the callouses and scars
I pray your heart is softened by
The ones who remind you of me
And I hope you feel as loved
As I did in our best moments
That my eyes can help you to see
Things that you never could
And wherever you are
That we're changing each other for good
I wouldn't be here without you
Oh I could never deny
But when the past won't allow me to grow
Then I'm better off letting it die
This is your invitation
To do better for someone else
Through the callouses and scars
I pray your heart is softened by
The ones who remind you of me
And I hope you feel as loved
As I did in our best moments
That my eyes can help you to see
Things that you never could
And wherever you are
That we're changing each other for good
May you cultivate the empathy
To understand the parts of me
That I suppressed to try to keep me safe
May you bear witness to and recognize
My relationship to the Divine
If not just know you can't take that away
May you cultivate the empathy
To understand the parts of me
I won't deny no matter what you say
(No matter what you say)
May you recognize who I become
In front of God and everyone
I know my worth
You can't take that away
Through the callouses and scars
I pray your heart is softened by
The ones who remind you of me
And I hope you feel as loved
As I did in our best moments
That my eyes can help you to see
Things that you never could
And wherever you are
That we're changing each other for good
Yeah wherever you are
We're changing each other for good
