"BATTLE SCAR" lyrics

It's insidious
I know it's over, but you won't hear me admitting it
I took a bullet to the chest, but I'm oblivious
And still pretending I could change your mind, mm, yeah
I'm an idiot
I swear we almost tied the knot until you severed it
So full of life, but now it looks more like a skeleton
And now it's history we can't rewrite, mm

And I'm so tired of fighting

Love isn't war, but I'm still bleeding
Here at your door, begging and pleading
I'm still holding on with half my heart
Maybe you won, but I'm still breathing
Missing your love, looking for reasons
I'm still holding on when all you are
Is another battle scar

(This station is conducting a test of the Emergency Broadcast System)
(This is only a test)

Now that we're separate
I see the patterns we were making and I'm questioning
If I was ever really present or oblivious
To all the warning signs that came my way, mm, yeah
The threat was imminent
And when the shock wave hits you
If you're still left standing when the radiation gets you
Ain't a medicine that can ever take the pain away, mm

And I'm so tired of fighting

Love isn't war, but I'm still bleeding
Here at your door, begging and pleading
I'm still holding on with half my heart
Maybe you won (You won), but I'm still breathing (Breathing)
Missing your love, looking for reasons (Yeah)
I'm still holding on when all you are
Is another battle scar

Is another battle scar, la

I'll hold up my head
And with my last breath
I'll be waving a white flag

Love isn't war, but I'm still bleeding
Here at your door, begging and pleading
I'm still holding on with half my heart (Oh)
Maybe you won, but I'm still breathing
Missing your love, looking for reasons
I'm still holding on when all you are
Is another battle scar
