Guy Sebastian, Lupe Fiasco - Battle Scars lyrics

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

Never let a wound ruin me
But, I feel like ruins ruin 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 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
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
(Much) 'Cause, I'm the only one that's
Tryna keep us together (yeah)
When all of the signs say
That I should forget her (Uh, huh)
I wish you weren't the best
(Best) , the best I ever had (yeah)
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, 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

(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 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 (So much)
'Cause, I'm the only one that's
Trying to keep us together (yeah)
When all of the signs say
That I should forget her (yeah)
I wish you weren't the best
(Best) , the best I ever had (Had)
I wish that the good outweighed the bad (Uh)
'Cause it'll never be over
(Can 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're at war with love
And I'm at the point of breaking (Uh, huh)
And it's impossible to shake it (yeah)

See, you hoped the wound heals
But it never does
That's 'cause you at war with love (Oh)
Hope it heals, but it never does
That's 'cause you at war with love

These battle scars
Don't look like they're fading (yeah)
Don't look like they're ever going away
(Uh, huh)
(Never) I ain't ever gonna change (Never)
These battle scars
(yeah) , don't look like they're fading (Uh
Huh) don't look like they're ever going away
(Never)
They ain't never gonna change (Never)
These battle scars
Don't look like they're fading (Uh, huh)
Don't look like they're ever going away
I ain't ever gonna change these battle
