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
