Intro

Verse 1

I've been brushed to the side

I've been taken for rides

He said I'm gonna do fine

 But I never knew why

I thought I could

still make it

How do we say it

I just wanted it

 in the worst way

Refrain 1

My life is such a wreck

 I finally realize

Chorus 1

 I got battle scars

battle scars

battle scars

 I got battle scars

battle scars

battle scars

 I left behind my moral ties

 they're gone before you know

 I got battle scars battle scars

 Post Chorus: x4

Verse 2

All my friends can

see right through

This confidence

 that I pretend is real

 I'm happier this

way I think

But I can't remember

 how I really feel

Refrain 1

My life is such a wreck

 I finally realize

(Repeat Chorus 1)

Breakdown

Bridge

Please doctor come

 cure me I lost my legs

I walked for ten long years

 and I tripped along the way

 I don't know if I can take ten more

 I'm getting comfortable on the floor

 And I can sleep for days and

dream about life with a general distaste

Chorus 2

Silence

 I got battle scars

Chorus 3

 I got battle scars

battle scars

battle scars

 I got battle scars

battle scars

 I left behind my moral ties

 they're gone before you know

Ask for hope and dignity

 I lost them long ago

 I got battle scars battle scars
