Battle Scars
The wound heals but it never does
Thatâs cause youâre at war with love
You're at war with love, yeah
These battle scars, donât look like theyâre fading
Donât look like theyâre 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 Iâm the only one that's trying to keep us together
When all of the signs say that I should forget her
I wish you werenât the best, the best I ever had
I wish that the good outweighed the bad
Cause itâll never be over, until you tell me it's over
These battle scars, donât look like theyâre fading
Donât look like theyâre 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 Iâm the only one that's trying to keep us together
When all of the signs say that I should forget her
I wish you werenât the best, the best I ever h...Expand for more

Cause itâll never be over, until you tell me it's over
Cause you've set me on fire
Iâve never felt so alive, yeah
Hoping wounds heal, but it never does
That's because you're at war with love
And Iâm at the point of breaking
And itâs 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!

âThe longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.â Charles R. Swindoll
Poem:
What words can I wish you
As I think of you today
As our past becomes a shadow
With the earths new dawning day
So all that I will promise
Is you name sent up above
And a whisper asked of Jesus
To enfold you with His love
To make of you a sunrise
In the lives of those you meet
To enchant them with His presence
When they think they know defeat
