Lyrics

Repair ©2026 Beth Schafer

I’ve been living in the spaces
Where the light and shadow fade
Torn around edges,
Messy and frayed

Unfinished stories linger
In the fissures of the past
Silent in the
Questions we don’t ask

Chorus
Scars don’t disappear, they fade
Softening the lines that came to be
In the fractures, in the worn and the wear
There’s a truth still breathing in there
I have lived, I have loved, I have learned
Through the breaking and all that I have burned
Not erased, not beyond despair
But to repair, repair

In the time between the moments
Distance leaves its mark
Ghosts of then still linger
In the dark

Untreated wounds remember
Even when we turn away
But healing comes
When we dare to stay

Final Chorus
Scars don’t disappear, they shine
Filling in with gold from year to year
In the fractures, in the worn and the wear
There is beauty breathing in there
I have lived, I have loved, I have learned
To the birth of separation I return
I can't change that I once despaired
But I can repair

Gather the pieces, name what is torn
Hold what is broken, let it be born
Give it some light give it some air
And repair
