Battle Scars

I... don't even know
If I tried to take you back
I could even show
How my path's been pretty hard
(Path's been pretty hard)
I've been pretty scarred
I've been pretty scarred, yeah
And It's hard for me to see
If the path that I've been on
Is where I need to be
But I've been fighting hard
I've been fighting hard
I've been left with Battle Scars
(Left with battle scars)
I've been left with Battle Scars

Gotta lot of thoughts in my head
Jam packed, I can see the traffic, uh
These last few months been a trip
Went to a dark place, it was pretty tragic
You ever wanted something so bad
Get in arm's reach and couldn't even grab it
I been there, yeah I had it
I wouldn't wish it on a soul
Cuz it made mine absent
See it started with a march, in a new place
I was ready for the madness, uh
I was tied down with the game, like a shoelace
I was feeling like an addict

I was working out and it was working
Found the thing I loved I wasn't searching
You could see my light like open curtains
But there was demons out there steady lurking, yeah

People telling me it's God's plan
But I'm feeling pretty hot down low
(Pretty hot down, low)
Everything happens for a reason
Well how about you tell me how so
I been pretty doubtful
I mean, this is more than just love, this is my life's work
Then everything I built up broke down in a second
Guess that's how life works

I been down bad, and I ain't asking for sympathy
Or for history to say how sad
My situation is, this relationship's
Messing with my head, hard to get it wrapped round that
And that's true, uh
Difficult to explain
I wish I could show, I wish that you knew, yeah
Cuz I don't even know

I... don't even know
If I tried to take you back
I could even show
How my path's been pretty hard
(Path's been pretty hard)
I've been pretty scarred
I've been pretty scarred, yeah
(Yuh, yuh, yuh!)
And It's hard for me to see
If the path that I've been on
Is where I need to be
But I've been fighting hard
I've been fighting hard
I've been left with Battle Scars
(Left with battle scars)
I've been left with Battle Scars

Emotions were high in variety
I hurt my body my mind tried to fight with me
No I couldn't walk, but nothing's more crippling than that anxiety
Wish I was dreaming or somebody lied to me
I don't like to sleep, but my eyes would be shut
If I could wake up to a life where we
Could do it over entirely

I'd run it back from the start
Take the knife out of my heart
And get out of the dark
Then I could live in a place where my life and my love
Wouldn't have to depart
But then I wake up to see
Life's the same as when I closed my eyes
All that could change it was me
Excuses are valid but that don't do nothing for none of your problems
Just take it from me

Weight's just been lifted
It's off of my chest
Now that it's shifted
I call off the stress
Took me a minute to get it
Was livid I lived it
But hoped it was all for the best
So I put that coffin to rest
I guess, it's time to move on now
Doesn't mean that I stop shooting just cuz
The last shot that I took didn't knock down

So I walk down this road and face all my foes (Uh)
The ones that prayed that I'd fail
Hated my highs
And laughed at my lows (Yeah)
Since the camera's been on me this long
I think it's time I go pro (Uh)
So I'm taking my ball and using my prose
Keeping my scars but this time I think that I'll let 'em show

I... don't even know
If I tried to take you back
I could even show
How my path's been pretty hard
(path's been pretty hard)
I've been pretty scarred
I've been pretty scarred, yeah
And It's hard for me to see
(Hard for me to see)
(Hard for me to see)
If the path that I've been on
Is where I need to be
(Where I need to be)
(Where I need to be)
But I've been fighting hard
I've been fighting hard
I've been left with Battle Scars
(Left with battle scars)
I've been left with Battle Scars

Yeah, hey
Oh ooh oh ooh oh ooh oh
Oh ooh oh ooh oh
Oh oh oh
I've been left with Battle Scars
