Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Engraved in me since the very start
Written on my tender heart
My mind and soul you compliment
Life molded what would be destined
The reason I melt in your voice
The reason I give in by choice
The reason I can feel the flutter
The reason it's you and not another
And it is worth the every battle
For you to understand my shadow
[Chorus 1]
You're my birthmark, here to stay
Wouldn't have it any other way
It's always been you, and now I know
Some things are written in the soul
[Verse 2]
You can see it, but you can't feel
My acceptance is what heals
I'm starting to think it's not so ugly
Kind of beautiful in case you're wondering
A natural marking, not a scar
Part of me, just as you are
Yes, I have what they call pride
Part of my story it can't hide
I don't want to erase the battles
And I will always have my shadow
[Chorus 2]
It's my birthmark, here to stay
Wouldn't have it any other way
Not a flaw, it's where I start
In my soul, like my birthmark
[Outro]
You loved me before I knew my name
Before I ever faced my shame
You saw the light beneath the mark
Held my hand inside of the dark
And now I see it for what it is
Not a blemish, but a gift that lives
A part of me that's here to stay
Wouldn't have it any other way
