What It Sounds Like Lyrics

Nothing but the truth now
Nothing but the proof of what I am
The worst of what I came from, patterns I′m ashamed of
Things that even I don't understand
I tried to fix it, I tried to fight it
My head was twisted, my heart divided
My lies all collided
I don′t know why I didn't trust you to be on my side

I broke into a million pieces, and I can't go back
But now I′m seeing all the beauty in the broken glass
The scars are part of me, darkness and harmony
My voice without the lies, this is what it sounds like

Why did I cover up the colors stuck inside my head?
I should′ve let the jagged edges meet the light instead
Show me what's underneath, I′ll find your harmony
The song we couldn't write, this is what it sounds like

We′re shattering the silence, we're rising, defiant
Shouting in the quiet, "You′re not alone"
We listened to the demons, we let them get between us
But none of us are out here on our own

So we were cowards, so we were liars
So we're not heroes, we're still survivors
The dreamers, the fighters, no lying, I′m tired
But dive in the fire and I′ll be right here by your side

We broke into a million pieces, and we can't go back
But now we′re seeing all the beauty in the broken glass
The scars are part of me, darkness and harmony
My voice without the lies, this is what it sounds like (ah)

Why did we cover up the colors stuck inside our head?
Get up and let the jagged edges meet the light instead
Show me what's underneath, I′ll find your harmony
Fearless and undefined, this is what it sounds like

(Oh, oh)
This is what it sounds like
Hey! (Oh-oh, oh-oh), hey! (Oh-oh)
This is what it sounds like
Hey! (Oh-oh, oh-oh), hey! (Oh-oh)
This is what it sounds like
Hey! (Oh-oh), hey! (Oh-oh)
This is what it (sounds like), this is what it
This is what it sounds like

We broke into a million pieces, and we can't go back
But now I′m seeing all the beauty in the broken glass
The scars are part of me, darkness and harmony
My voice without the lies, this is what it sounds like

Why did we cover up the colors stuck inside our head?
Get up and let the jagged edges meet the light instead
Show me what's underneath, I'll find your harmony
Fearless and undefined, this is what it sounds like

My voice without the lies, this is what it sounds like (between, ah)
Fearless and undefined, this is what it sounds like (they know me)
Truth after all this time, our voices all combined
When darkness meets the light, this is what it sounds like
