(Fm  C#  G#  Eb)  

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
