Battle Scars (with Guy Sebastian) Lyrics - Food & Liquor Ii: The Great American Rap - Lupe Fiasco

[Intro: Lupe Fiasco] 

The wound heals but it never does 

That's cause you're at war with love 

You're at war with love, yeah 

[Hook: Guy Sebastian] 

These battle scars, don't look like they're fading 

Don't look like they're ever going away 

They ain't never gonna change 

This battle 

[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco] 

Never let a wound ruin me 

But I feel like ruin's wooing me 

Arrow holes, they never close from cupid on a shooting spree 

Feeling stupid cause I know it ain't no you and me 

But when you're trying to beat the odds up 

Been trying to keep your nods up 

And you know that you should know 

And let her go 

But the fear of the unknown 

Holding another lover strong 

Sends you back into the zone 

With no Tom Hanks to bring you home 

A lover not a fighter 

On the frontline with a poem 

Trying to write yourself a rifle 

Maybe sharpen up a song 

To fight the tanks and drones of you being alone 

[Pre-hook: Guy Sebastian] 

I wish I never looked, I wish I never touched 

I wish that I could stop loving you so much 

Cause I'm the only one that's trying to keep us together 

When all of the signs say that I should forget her 

I wish you weren't the best, the best I ever had 

I wish that the good outweighed the bad 

Cause it'll never be over, until you tell me it's over 

[Hook: Guy Sebastian] 

These battle scars, don't look like they're fading 

Don't look like they're ever going away 

They ain't never gonna change 

These battle scars, don't look like they're fading 

Don't look like they're ever going away 

They ain't never gonna change 

These battle... 

[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco] 

(Just leave) 

You shouldn't have but you said it 

(And I hope you never come back) 

It shouldn't have happened but you let it 

Now you're down on the ground screaming medic 

The only thing that comes is the post-traumatic stresses 

Shields, body armors and vests don't properly work 

That's why you're in a locker full of hurt 

The enemy within and all the fires from your friends 

The best medicine is to probably just let her win 

[Pre-hook: Guy Sebastian] 

I wish I couldn't feel, I wish I couldn't love 

I wish that I could stop cause it hurts so much 

And I'm the only one that's trying to keep us together 

When all of the signs say that I should forget her 

I wish you weren't the best, the best I ever had 

I wish that the good outweighed the bad 

Cause it'll never be over, until you tell me it's over 

[Hook: Guy Sebastian] 

These battle scars, don't look like they're fading 

Don't look like they're ever going away 

They ain't never gonna change 

These battle scars, don't look like they're fading 

Don't look like they're ever going away 

They ain't never gonna change 

These battle... 

[Bridge: Guy Sebastian & Lupe Fiasco] 

Cause you've set me on fire 

I've never felt so alive, yeah 

Hoping wounds heal, but it never does 

That's because you're at war with love 

And I'm at the point of breaking 

And it's impossible to shake it 

See, you hoped the wound heals, but it never does 

That's cause you're at war with love 

Hope it heals, but it never does 

That's cause you're at war with love! 

[Hook: Guy Sebastian] 

These battle scars, don't look like they're fading 

Don't look like they're ever going away 

They ain't never gonna change 

These battle scars, don't look like they're fading 

Don't look like they're ever going away 

They ain't never gonna change 

These battle scars, don't look like they're fading 

Don't look like they're ever going away 

They ain't never gonna change 

These battle
