Is this a battle?
Is this a war?
These battle scars
They're never healing
I am ruined.
My body will never be the same,
I've fought for you
I've fought for us
I am scarred,
I am scarred for life.
These battle scars are never leaving
My heart is broken
I let it happen again.
Make it stop,
I am bleeding,
I am hurting.
Make it go away,
These scars are never going to change
They don't look like they're healing,
I've lost that power,
I have lost this battle.
They're no longer bumps and bruises
They are cuts and wounds
Deep thoughts, deep marks.
These battle scars have cut deep,
I cannot be saved,
I am marked.
These battle scars are not fading,
I cannot make them go away,
I'm at war with these scars.
I lost this battle,
I lost this war.
It is over.

Is this a battle?
Is this a war?
These battle scars
They're never healing
I am ruined.
My body will never be the same,
I've fought for you
I've fought for us
I am scarred,
I am scarred for life.
These battle scars are never leaving
My heart is broken
I let it happen again.
Make it stop,
I am bleeding,
I am hurting.
Make it go away,
These scars are never going to change
They don't look like they're healing,
I've lost that power,
I have lost this battle.
They're no longer bumps and bruises
They are cuts and wounds
Deep thoughts, deep marks.
These battle scars have cut deep,
I cannot be saved,
I am marked.
These battle scars are not fading,
I cannot make them go away,
I'm at war with these scars.
I lost this battle,
I lost this war.
It is over.
