[Intro: Lupe Fiasco] |
|
Hope the wound heals but it never does |
|
That's cause you're at war with love |
|
You're at war with love, yeah |
|
[Hook: Guy Sebastian] |
|
These 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... |
|
[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco] |
|
Never let a wound ruin me |
|
But I feel like ruin's wooing me |
|
Arrow holes, they 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 |
|
Hold 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 line with a poem |
|
Trying to write yourself a rifle |
|
Maybe sharpen up a stone |
|
To fight the tanks and drones of you being alone |
|
[Pre-hook: Guy Sebastian] |
|
I 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 (never be over) until you tell me it's over |
|
[Hook: Guy Sebastian] |
|
These 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 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... |
|
[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco] |
|
(Then 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 armors 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's to probably just let it win |
|
[Pre-hook: Guy Sebastian] |
|
I 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 over |
|
[Hook: Guy Sebastian] |

These 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 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... |
|
[Bridge: Guy Sebastian & Lupe Fiasco] |
|
Cause you set me on fire |
|
I've never felt so alive, yeah |
|
No, hoping wounds heal, but it never does |
|
That's because you're at war with love |
|
And I'm at the point of breaking |
|
And it's impossible to shake it (yeah) |
|
See, 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 change |

|
Don't look like they're ever going away |

I ain't never gonna change |
|
These battle... |
