Hoping the wound heals but it never does,
That's 'cause you at war with love
You're at war with, love
These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
Don't look like they're ever goin' away,
They ain't ever gonna change,
These battle
Oh, never let a wound ruin me
But I feel like ruin's wooing me
Arrow holes that never close from Cupid on a shootin' spree
Feelin' stupid 'cause I know there ain't no you and me
But when you're tryin' to beat the odds up
When you're tryin' to keep your nods up
And you know that you should know
And let her go, but the fear of the unknown
Holding another lover strong sends you back into the zone
With no Tom Hanks to bring you home
A lover not a fighter, on the front lines of with a poem
Tryin' to write yourself a rifle
Maybe sharpen up a song
To fight the tanks and drones of you being alone
I wish I never looked, I wish I never touched,
I wish that I could stop lovin' you so much,
Am I the only one that's tryin' to keep us together,
When all of the signs say that I should forget her?
I wish you weren't the best,
The best I ever had,
I wish that the good outweighed the bad
'Cause then it'd never be over,
Until you tell me it's over
These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
Don't look like they're ever going away,
They ain't ever gonna change,
These battle scars,
Don't look like they're fading,
Don't look like theyre ever going away,
They ain't ever gonna change,
These battle-
(And just leave then) Shouldn't have but you said it
(I hope you never come back) It shouldnt' have happened
But you let it
Now you're down on the ground screaming "Medic!"
But the only thing that comes is the post-traumatic stresses
Shields, body armors and vests,
Don't properly work, that's why you're n a locker full of hurt
The enemy within
All the fires from your friends
The best medicine is to probably just let it win
I wish I couldn't feel, I wish I couldn't love,
I wish that I could stop 'cause it hurts so much
Am I the only one that's tryin' to keep us together,
When all of the signs say that I should forget her?
I wish you weren't the best,
The best I ever had,
I wish that the good outweighed the bad
'Cause then it'd never be over,
Until you tell me it's over
These battle scars,
Don't look like they're fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't ever gonna change
These battle scars,
Don't look like theyre fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't ever gonna change
These battle-
'Cause you set me on fire
I've never felt so alive, yeah
Hoping the wounds heal but it never does,
That's 'cause you're at war with love
And I'm at the point of breaking,
And it's impossible to shake it
You hoped the wound heals but it never does
That's 'cause you're at war with love
Hoped it heals but it never does
That's 'cause you at war with- These battle scars
Don't look like they're fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't ever gonna change!
These battle scars,
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't ever gonna change
These battle scars,
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't ever gonna change
These battle...
