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

Some cry with tears... Others.. cry with thoughts.

When the loneliest people are the kindest...

Physical scars may fade, but scars on the heart, are always there, and we get reminded of that every day of our lives.

A year ago I would listen to this song daily, and just cry alone in my dark room. After changing school and trying my best to become the best version of myself I can happily say: I’m finally starting to feel better. It took for me 2 years of depression and battling my thought until I truly started to feel better and not pretend anymore. I just want to say to the people who are still battling their own thought.... I believe in you and I promise you... one day it will get better!!! ❤️ Lots of love from- Me❤️

Who’s still listening to this song in 2024
-
Some people dont understand this song.. this was at my school disco and i started crying
-
Unpopular opinion: Scars are fucking beautiful. They tell stories of the battles we fought. They become a part of us. They show suffering, healing and strength. Bad shit happens but we keep moving.

This song hits me so hard. His voice cuts right through my soul. So full of emotions.

Sitting here holding back tears listening to this. It's hard always smiling, always holding the hurt inside, always being there for people, but healing alone, and in the process still helping people while having constant reminders that open it up again. Sometimes I wonder when enough is enough, when does the good come? I have a decent life, but I'm not happy, and i won't be happy. I guess I was meant to hold everyone's pain and watch them be happy as they slowly walk out of my life

There was a sad bear. The bear's name was You. You never gave up. You always fought the way through. You became successful. You became the definition of courage. You will have the courage to live a happy life. Without You, where is love in this vain?

"These battle scars, dont look like they're fading" I felt this way too hard.
-
This song reminds me of my brother who was in trouble and used to listen to it while he was depressed. I felt that way and every time I heard it, I remembered why he was in that state. He is now in a different place, but I still feel the same emotion when I hear it
-

-
I don't have scars physically i have them mentally in my head from all the pain i have all the pain bundled up i can't focus in school
-
Who else relates to the lyrics "I wish I couldn't feel I wish I couldn't love I wish that I could stop cause it hurts so much"
-
I don't understand how this song has not reached mainstream/gained more attention. I can't NOT listen to it... I've been coming back to this song for years; It never gets old and it always brings tears to my eyes.... I think one of the reasons why it's so beautiful is because of its raw truth.
