[Verse] Son, I see the shadows just beneath your chin A little line where boy meets man begin Take my hand, I’ll show you how to face the blade There’s beauty in the cuts, but never in the pain [Pre-Chorus] Soft strokes, gentle like a whispered prayer Mistakes will come, but I’ll always be there [Chorus] Shave it slow, don’t rush the healing Every scar holds a story worth revealing Heartbreak fades but love stays near In every line, I’m right here, my dear Shave it slow, let the past unwind A future bright, in every face you find [Verse] I remember tears I hid beneath my pride Trying to be strong, though I was torn inside Now you’re here, and though my heart still aches I pass this wisdom on for both our sakes [Pre-Chorus] Soft strokes, gentle like a whispered prayer Mistakes will come, but I’ll always be there [Chorus] Shave it slow, don’t rush the healing Every scar holds a story worth revealing Heartbreak fades but love stays near In every line, I’m right here, my dear Shave it slow, let the past unwind A future bright, in every face you find [Bridge] And when the night feels cold and all alone Remember these hands that made you strong I’m with you, son, through every fall and rise A lesson etched beneath your skies [Chorus] Shave it slow, don’t rush the healing Every scar holds a story worth revealing Heartbreak fades but love stays near In every line, I’m right here, my dear Shave it slow, let the past unwind A future bright, in every face you find [Outro] Shave it slow, my son, shave it slow...
