I've been brushed to the side
I've been taken for rides
He said I'm gunna 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


My life is such a wreck
I finally realize
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


All my friends can see right through
This confidence that I pretend is real

I'm happier this way I think
But I cant remember how I really feel


My life is such a wreck
I finally realize
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


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


Cause I've got battle scars, battle scars, battle scars
I got battle scars, battle scars, battle scars


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

Ask for hope and dignity, I lost them long ago
I got battle scars, battle scars
