The wound heals but it never does
That's cause you're at war with love
You're at war with love, yeahThese battle scars, don't look like they're fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't never gonna change
These battleNever let a wound ruin me
But I feel like ruin's wooing me
Arrow holes that never close from cupid on a shooting spree
Feeling stupid cause I know it ain't no you and me
But when you're trying to beat the odds up
Been trying 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's phone sends you back into the zone
With no Tom Hanks to bring you home
A lover not a fighter on the front line with a poem
Trying to write yourself a rifle
Maybe sharpen up a song
To fight the tanks and drones of you being aloneI wish I never looked, I wish I never touched
I wish that I could stop loving you so much
Cause I'm the only one that's trying 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 it'll never be over, until you tell me it's overThese battle scars, don't look like they're fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't never gonna changeThese battle scars, don't look like they're fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't never gonna change
These battle(And just leave then)
You shouldn't have but you said it
(And I hope you never come back)
It shouldn't have happened but you let it
Now you're down on the ground screaming medic
The only thing that comes is the post-traumatic stresses
Shields, body armours and vests
Don't properly work, that's why you're in a locker full of hurt
The enemy within and all the fires from your friends
The best medicine is to probably just let her winI wish I couldn't feel, I wish I couldn't love
I wish that I could stop 'cause it hurts so much
And I'm the only one that's trying 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 it'll never be over, until you tell me it's overThese battle scars, don't look like they're fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't never gonna changeThese battle scars, don't look like they're fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't never gonna change
These battle'Cause you've set me on fire
I've never felt so alive, yeahHoping wounds heal, but it never does
That's because you're at war with loveAnd I'm at the point of breaking
And it's impossible to shake itSee, you hoped the wound heals, but it never does
That's cause you're at war with love
Hope it heals, but it never does
That's cause you're at war with love!These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't never gonna changeThese battle scars, don't look like they're fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't never gonna changeThese battle scars, don't look like they're fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't never gonna changeThese battle
