Sam Smith - Scars lyrics

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
