[00:02.600] .
[00:03.900] The wound heals but it never does
[00:06.470] That's cause you're at war with love
[00:09.479] You're at war with love, yeah
[00:12.979] These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
[00:13.0] .
[00:17.590] Don't look like they're ever going away
[00:20.820] They ain't never gonna change
[00:23.509] This battle
[00:25.919] .
[00:26.300] Never let a wound ruin me
[00:28.550] But I feel like ruin's wooing me
[00:31.870] Arrow holes, they never close from cupid on a shooting spree
[00:35.0] Feeling stupid cause I know it ain't no you and me
[00:37.980] But when you're trying to beat the odds up
[00:39.920] Been trying to keep your nods up
[00:41.340] And you know that you should know
[00:42.900] And let her go
[00:44.300] But the fear of the unknown
[00:45.520] Holding another lover strong
[00:47.300] Sends you back into the zone
[00:48.640] With no Tom Hanks to bring you home
[00:51.260] Another night of fighting
[00:52.380] On the frontline with a poem
[00:54.430] Trying to write yourself a rifle
[00:55.940] Maybe sharpen up a stone
[00:57.400] To fight the tanks and drones of you being alone
[00:59.440] .
[00:59.570] I wish I never looked, I wish I never touched
[01:01.820] I wish that I could stop loving you so much
[01:04.620] Cause I'm the only one that's trying to keep us together
[01:07.450] When all of the signs say that I should forget her
[01:10.480] I wish you weren't the best, the best I ever had
[01:13.110] I wish that the good outweighed the bad
[01:15.810] Cause it'll never be over, until you tell me it's over
[01:21.140] These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
[01:21.300] .
[01:26.300] Don't look like they're ever going away
[01:29.340] They ain't never gonna change
[01:32.150] These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
[01:37.370] Don't look like they're ever going away
[01:40.489] They ain't never gonna change
[01:43.700] These battle...
[01:45.179] .
[01:46.870] You shouldn't have but you said it
[01:48.539] And I hope you never come back
[01:49.850] It shouldn't have happened but you let it
[01:51.810] Now you're down on the ground screaming medic
[01:54.220] The only thing that comes is the post-traumatic stresses
[01:57.0] Shields, body armors and vests don't properly work
[02:00.820] That's why you're in a locker full of hurt
[02:02.800] The enemy within and all the fires from your friends
[02:05.300] The best medicine is to probably just let her win
[02:07.920] .
[02:08.160] I wish I couldn't feel, I wish I couldn't love
[02:10.459] I wish that I could stop cause it hurts so much
[02:13.149] And I'm the only one that's trying to keep us together
[02:16.100] When all of the signs say that I should forget her
[02:18.989] I wish you weren't the best, the best I ever had
[02:21.799] I wish that the good outweighed the bad
[02:24.480]
[02:25.170] Cause it'll never be over, until you tell me it's over
[02:29.230] .
[02:29.850] These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
[02:34.350] Don't look like they're ever going away
[02:37.670] They ain't never gonna change
[02:40.579] These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
[02:45.839] Don't look like they're ever going away
[02:48.890] They ain't never gonna change
[02:51.810] These battle...
[02:53.560] .
[02:54.370] Cause you've set me on fire
[02:57.810] I've never felt so alive, yeah
[03:00.220] .
[03:00.910] Hoping wounds heal, but it never does
[03:02.839] That's because you're at war with love
[03:05.100] .
[03:07.0] And I'm at the point of breaking
[03:09.149] And it's impossible to shake it
[03:11.829] .
[03:15.420] See, you hoped the wound heals, but it never does
[03:20.370] That's cause you're at war with love
[03:23.880] Hope it heals, but it never does
[03:26.109] That's cause you're at war with love!
[03:27.670] .
[03:27.920] These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
[03:33.149] Don't look like they're ever going away
[03:35.230] They ain't never gonna change
