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 3
I got battle scars
battle scars

I got 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
