Battlescars

We've been here before

Veterans of our fathers' wars

All have felt like this

Broken pieces hard to fix

But my heart keeps beating

To this rhythm I'm hearing

Like a drum

Pounds in my chest like

Pum-padum-padum

Now I know the meaning

Of this hurt not healing

Now I know

Now I know

Easy come

Easy go

Some things fix fast

Some painfully slow

Does it really matter when

There has got to be a plan

Never has to be the end

So broken pieces remind me

That what tries to hurt me simply defines me understand

Things get better they can

Battle scars only make me who I am

We've been here before

Wins and losses

Keeping score

Scared of opening upon fear of what comes in

Not sure what really matters

What's to be

What's been

Broken pieces hard to fix

But I have my battle scars

My feet have taken me this far

And that drum pounds in my chest like

Pum-padum-padum

This familiar feeling is what keeps me going

Now I know

Now I know

Easy come

Easy go

Some things fix fast

Some painfully slow

Does it really matter when

There has got to be a plan

Never has to be the end

There will be things that harm me

They will leave scars that forever mark me

I will run and keep faith

Won't be blinded by hate

Eyes on tomorrow

Not the sorrow of yesterday

Oh we have battle scars

Reminds us of our broken parts

Oh we have war wounds

Reminds us what we've lost so soon

Oh we have battle scars

Reminds us of our broken hearts

Oh we have war wounds

Reminds us what we've lost so soon

Oh we have battle scars

Reminds us of our broken parts

Oh we have war wounds

Reminds us what we've lost so soon
