Battle Scars
Lupe Fiasco

The wound heals but it never does

That's cause you're at war with love

You're at war with love, yeah


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


Never 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 strong sends you back into the zone

With no Tom Hanks to bring you home

A lover not a fighter on the frontline with a poem

Trying 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 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 over


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


(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 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 is to probably just let her win


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


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


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


Cause you've set me on fire

I've never felt so alive, yeah


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


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

These battle


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
