BattleScars (feat. Guy Sebastian)

[Lupe Fiasco:]
The wound heals but it never does,
That's cause you're at war with love,
You're at war with love, yeah...

[Guy Sebastian:]
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,
This battle...

 [Lupe Fiasco:]
Never let a wound ruin me,
But I feel like
Ruin's wounding me.
Arrow holes, they 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.
lover not a fighter
On the frontline with a poem
Trying to write yourself a rifle,
Maybe sharpen up a stone
To fight the tanks
And drones of you being alone.

[Guy Sebastian:]
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.

[Guy Sebastian:]
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 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...

 [Lupe Fiasco:]
(“Just leave”)
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.

 [Guy Sebastian:]
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.

 [Guy Sebastian:]
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 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...

[Guy Sebastian & Lupe Fiasco:]
‘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!

[Guy Sebastian:]
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[3x]
These battle...
