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 can't 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
