Verse 1: Time has carved these lines of wisdom In a face that's weathered storms Years of bearing others' judgment Left me battered, left me torn But in silence comes the answer In the mirror, now I see All these scars I tried to hide away They're what made me finally free Chorus: I am the Unforgiven But now I wear it like a crown These battles that I've lived in Built the strength that I have found No more seeking absolution No more drowning in the shame Being Unforgiven Is the fire that feeds my flame Verse 2: Every "no" that tried to break me Every door that stayed locked tight Every hand that wouldn't help me Taught me how to win my fight Now I stand here, older, wiser Understanding at long last That the pain that tried to end me Forged the steel that's built to last (Repeat Chorus) Bridge: Let them judge (let them judge) Let them stare (let them stare) I've earned every scar that I bear What once broke me (what once broke me) Made me strong (made me strong) I've been Unforgiven all along Solo Section Final Verse: So I thank you for the darkness For the weight that made me bend For the labels meant to hurt me They became my truest friends In the end, I needed no one To forgive what I've become 'Cause the power of redemption Lived inside me all along (Repeat Chorus) Outro: Unforgiven, now and always Wearing scars like battle signs Finally seeing through the haze These wounds made me divine
