[00:02.48]Lupe Fiasco
[00:04.86]The wound heals but it never does
[00:07.05]That's cause you're at war with love
[00:10.30]You're at war with love' yeah
[00:13.67]These battle scars' don't look like they're fading
[00:18.28]Don't look like they're ever going away
[00:21.35]They ain't never gonna change
[00:24.35]This battle
[00:26.72]Never let a wound ruin me
[00:29.66]But I feel like ruin's wooing me
[00:32.53]Arrow holes' they never close from cupid on a shooting spree
[00:34.98]Feeling stupid cause I know it ain't no you and me
[00:38.35]But when you're trying to beat the odds up
[00:40.66]Been trying to keep your nods up
[00:41.97]And you know that you should know
[00:43.35]And let her go
[00:44.60]But the fear of the unknown
[00:45.85]Holding another lover strong
[00:47.16]Sends you back into the zone
[00:49.29]With no Tom Hanks to bring you home
[00:51.66]Another night of fighting
[00:52.91]On the frontline with a poem
[00:54.91]Trying to write yourself a rifle
[00:56.47]Maybe sharpen up a stone
[00:57.98]To fight the tanks and drones of you being alone
[01:00.35]I wish I never looked' I wish I never touched
[01:02.41]I wish that I could stop loving you so much
[01:05.35]Cause I'm the only one that's trying to keep us together
[01:07.98]When all of the signs say that I should forget her
[01:11.22]I wish you weren't the best' the best I ever had
[01:13.99]I wish that the good outweighed the bad
[01:16.06]Cause it'll never be over' until you tell me it's over
[01:21.93]These battle scars' don't look like they're fading
[01:26.62]Don't look like they're ever going away
[01:30.06]They ain't never gonna change
[01:31.95]These battle scars' don't look like they're fading
[01:37.89]Don't look like they're ever going away

[01:44.33]These battle
[01:45.40](Just leave)
[01:46.97]You shouldn't have but you said it
[01:49.28](And I hope you never come back)
[01:50.72]It shouldn't have happened but you let it
[01:52.53]Now you're down on the ground screaming medic
[01:54.84]The only thing that comes is the post-traumatic stresses
[01:58.59]Shields' body armors and vests don't properly work
[02:01.47]That's why you're in a locker full of hurt
[02:03.53]The enemy within and all the fires from your friends
[02:06.22]The best medicine is to probably just let her win
[02:09.53]I wish I couldn't feel' I wish I couldn't love
[02:11.41]I wish that I could stop cause it hurts so much
[02:13.91]And I'm the only one that's trying to keep us together
[02:16.53]When all of the signs say that I should forget her
[02:19.85]I wish you weren't the best' the best I ever had
[02:22.66]I wish that the good outweighed the bad
[02:25.15]Cause it'll never be over' until you tell me it's over
[02:31.60]These battle scars' don't look like they're fading
[02:35.03]Don't look like they're ever going away
[02:38.47]They ain't never gonna change
[02:41.47]These battle scars' don't look like they're fading
[02:46.28]Don't look like they're ever going away
[02:49.85]They ain't never gonna change
[02:53.03]These battle
[03:11.93]Cause you've set me on fire
[03:13.68]I've never felt so alive' yeah
[03:16.87]Hoping wounds heal' but it never does
[03:18.86]That's because you're at war with love
[03:22.80]And I'm at the point of breaking
[03:25.86]And it's impossible to shake it
[03:31.86]See' you hoped the wound heals' but it never does
[03:37.05]That's cause you're at war with love
