Mission Pine - Battle Scars

The wound heals but it never does
That's 'cause you at war with love
You 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

Uh, never let a wound ruin me
But I feel like ruin's wooin' 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 but know that you should heal
And let it go but the fear of the unknown
Holding on another lover's phone sends you back into the zone
(Go) with no Tom Hanks to bring you home
A lover not a fighter on the frontline with a poem
Tryna 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 tryna 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 (yeah)
'Cause it'll never be over (it'll never be over)
Until you tell me it's 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 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

(Then just leave) 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 stress
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
'Cause I'm the only one that's tryna 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 (it could never be over)
Until you tell me it's 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 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 (fire)
I've never felt so alive, yeah
No, hoping wounds heal, but it never does
That's because you at war with love
And I'm at the point of breaking (uh-huh)
And it's impossible to shake it (yeah)
Said, oh

You hope the wound heals, but it never does
That's 'cause you at war with love
Hope the wound heals, but it never does
That's 'cause you 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 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
