====[ LYRICS ]====

[Verse 1]
I’ve worn my flaws like second skin
Hid what I felt, kept it locked within  
But I’m tired of shadows, tired of shame  
I need your light to show me the way  

I spoke like I had all the answers
But silence was my only prayer  
Now I kneel, heart laid bare—  
Jehovah, are you there?  

[Chorus]
Let me be better than I was
Not just stronger, but guided by love  
Not just calm, but trusting your plan  
Not just kind, but shaped by your hand  
You see the heart beneath the scars  
Let me be better—just as I am  

[Verse 2]
I’ve wandered roads that led me home
To where your voice is soft but known  
When I was numb, still you were near  
Your mercy louder than my fear  

I’ve read your word through weary eyes
Each verse a whisper, a call to rise  
So here I am, not proud, just true—  
I want to walk each step with you  

[Chorus]
Let me be better than I was
Less of my will, more of your cause  
Let me reflect what patience can be  
Show your compassion working in me  
You see the soul I’ve tried to guard  
Let me be better—Jehovah, my God  

[Bridge]
I won’t pretend I haven’t strayed
But you forgive when I’ve confessed and prayed  
No crown, no worth of my own to boast  
Just grace enough to hold you close  

[Final Chorus]
Let me be better than I was
Lifted by undeserved love  
Let every failure become my prayer  
Every tear, a step toward care  
You’re not done with me—this I trust  
Let me be better than I was

Let Me Be Better Than I Was

The world is far too big sometimes
And it makes us feel, every now and then
So insignificant, invisible, almost nothing
It’s hard to say some things out loud

Especially ‘cause certain words
When spoken clear and full of sound
Can suddenly become more real
Because we finally hear ourselves

I’ve hurt myself so many times
Without meaning to at all
And I’ve hurt others just the same
‘Cause I was hurting too, we all fall

When we were fragile
We let ourselves break down
Fall to pieces over nothing
When we were fragile

Sometimes we let ourselves bleed
Over things so small, almost nothing
Just because we don’t know how to hold
Ourselves the way we hold the ones we love

We forget that we are
Our truest, deepest love
The only one we’ll carry
All the way to the end

When we were fragile
We let ourselves break down
Fall to pieces over nothing
When we were fragile

We’ll always be fragile
But now, a little less than yesterday
And sometimes, less than tomorrow

When we were fragile

“The Quiet Prayer” is an epic spiritual ballad carried by solemn piano, trembling strings, and a deeply poetic vocal performance. It’s a song about unspoken faith, sacred love, and the strength found in silence.

The Quiet Prayer

Quiet moments when love slips through your fingers, caught in soulful jazz that knows the ache of letting go. Each melody carries the weight of goodbye and whispers of hearts learning to love again.

How do I breathe in this quiet house

Paper Scars is more than a band, it's an open wound shaped into sound. With intense lyrics, melancholic melodies, and a sonic identity that moves between alternative rock, alternative, and indie, the group turns pain, memories, and new beginnings into music. Each song is a poetic confession, like an unsent letter or a torn-out page from a diary. Formed by musicians who found healing through art, Paper Scars speaks to those who have felt too much, and lived to tell the tale.
