Battle Scars

[00:03.66] The wound heals but it never does
[00:06.80] That's 'cause you're at war with love
[00:10.39] You're at war with love, yeah
[00:13.86] These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
[00:18.18] Don't look like they're ever going away
[00:21.57] They ain't never gonna change
[00:24.32] This battle
[00:26.92] Never let a wound ruin me
[00:29.37] But I feel like ruin's wooing me
[00:32.16] Arrow holes that never close from Cupid on a shooting spree
[00:35.24] Feeling stupid 'cause I know it ain't no you and me
[00:38.16] But when you're trying to beat the odds up
[00:40.91] Been trying to keep your nods up and you know that you should know
[00:43.86] And let her go but the fear of the unknown
[00:46.58] Holding on another lover's phone sends you back into the zone
[00:49.06] With no Tom Hanks to bring you home
[00:52.05] A lover not a fighter on the frontline with a poem
[00:54.93] Trying to write yourself a rifle
[00:56.24] Maybe sharpen up a song
[00:57.80] To fight the tanks and drones of you being alone
[01:00.08] I wish I never looked, I wish I never touched
[01:02.24] I wish that I could stop loving you so much
[01:05.19] 'Cause I'm the only one that's trying to keep us together
[01:08.03] When all of the signs say that I should forget her
[01:10.98] I wish you weren't the best, the best I ever had
[01:13.81] I wish that the good outweighed the bad
[01:16.56] 'Cause it'll never be over (it never be over)
[01:19.15] Until you tell me it's over (until you tell me it's over)
[01:21.76] These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
[01:26.22] Don't look like they're ever going away
[01:29.45] They ain't never gonna change
[01:32.83] These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
[01:38.12] Don't look like they're ever going away
[01:41.34] They ain't never gonna change
[01:44.30] This battle
[01:46.10] (Then just leave then)
[01:47.51] You shouldn't have but you said it
[01:48.92] (And I hope you never come back)
[01:50.53] It shouldn't have happened but you let it
[01:52.09] Now you're down on the ground screaming medic
[01:54.18] The only thing that comes is the post-traumatic stresses
[01:57.27] Shields, body armors and vests
[02:00.25] Don't properly work, that's why you're in a locker full of hurt
[02:03.10] The enemy within and all the fires from your friends
[02:05.83] The best medicine is to probably just let her win
[02:09.14] I wish I couldn't feel, I wish I couldn't love
[02:11.16] I wish that I could stop 'cause it hurts so much
[02:13.79] And I'm the only one that's trying to keep us together
[02:16.68] When all of the signs say that I should forget her
[02:19.40] I wish you weren't the best, the best I ever had
[02:22.50] I wish that the good outweighed the bad
[02:25.16] 'Cause it'll never be over (could never be over)
[02:27.94] Until you tell me it's over (until you tell me it's over)
[02:30.69] These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
[02:35.09] Don't look like they're ever going away
[02:38.23] They ain't never gonna change
[02:41.20] These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
[02:46.46] Don't look like they're ever going away
[02:49.79] They ain't ever gonna change
[02:52.77] This battle
[02:55.59] ('Cause you've set me on fire)
[02:58.54] (I've never felt so alive, yeah)
[03:01.20] No, hoping wounds heal, but it never does
[03:03.61] That's because you're at war with love
[03:06.99] (And I'm at the point of breaking)
[03:09.51] (And it's impossible to shake it)
[03:14.01]
[03:16.12] See, you hoped the wound heals, but it never does
[03:21.30] That's cause you're at war with love
[03:24.43] Hope it heals, but it never does
[03:27.15] That's cause you're at war with love!
[03:29.60] These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
[03:32.32] Don't look like they're ever going away
[03:35.22] I ain't ever gonna change
[03:38.55] These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
[03:43.52] Don't look like they're ever going away
[03:46.66] They ain't never gonna change (never)
[03:50.30] These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
[03:54.99] Don't look like they're ever going away
[03:58.15] I ain't ever gonna change
[04:01.38] This battle
