Battle Scars
Unveiling the Emotional Battlefield: Decoding Battle Scars by LeAndro Meeks
Lyrics
I could tell you were broken
I perceived that you were emotionally damaged
The first moment we met
From the very first encounter we had
Although the words were never spoken
Even though the sentiment was unspoken
Your eyes said it best
Your eyes conveyed the message most effectively
You were a delicate flower, so easy to devour
You were fragile and vulnerable, easily affected
I showed you what a real man does
I demonstrated the actions of a genuine man
Helped you regained your power
Assisted you in reclaiming your strength
But now you say you're leaving
Now you declare your intention to leave
No kiss goodbye, no grieving
No farewell kiss, no expression of sorrow
The years we spent together
The time we shared seems erased
It's like they never happened
As if those years never transpired
Battle Scars have made you so cold
Emotional wounds have made you emotionally distant
Hard to trust and easy to let go
Difficult to trust and easy to detach
But it's my life this isn't a game
But my life is real, not a game
Even though I was different from the start
Despite my differences from the outset
You took my heart and you still tore it apart
You took my heart and still tore it apart
I'm a man, and to you we're all the same
As a man, I'm perceived as interchangeable to you
You never really seen a rainbow
You've never truly witnessed the beauty of a rainbow
Reflecting off of rain crystals
Reflecting on rain crystals
You only see the cloud beyond
You only focus on the dark cloud ahead
And how it blocks out the sun
And how it obscures the sunlight
I sympathize with the life you lived
I understand the challenges you faced in life
The nightmares from bad relationships
The traumas from past relationships haunt you
But I can't excuse you torturing me
However, I can't accept you inflicting pain on me
I'm not your enemy
I am not your adversary
Your battle scars have made you so cold
Your emotional wounds have made you emotionally distant
Hard to trust and easy to let go
Difficult to trust and easy to detach
But this my life this isn't a game
But my life is real, not a game
Even though I was different from the start
Despite my differences from the outset
You took my heart and you still tore it apart
You took my heart and still tore it apart
I'm just a man, and to you we're all the same
As a man, I'm perceived as interchangeable to you
I know you searching for a better place
I recognize your quest for a better place
Where you can live & breathe in an open space
Where you can live freely in an open space
But that's something you can never find
Yet, it's something unattainable until you confront your inner demons
Until you face the demons that lurks behind
You won't discover your true self
You will never know who you are
If you can't move beyond your emotional wounds
If you can't see past your scars
To understand who you are, look past your scars
Your battle scars have made you so cold
Your emotional wounds have made you emotionally distant
Hard to trust and easy to let go
Difficult to trust and easy to detach
But this my life this isn't a game
But my life is real, not a game
Even though I was different from the start
Despite my differences from the outset
You took my heart and you still tore it apart
You took my heart and still tore it apart
I'm just a man, and to you we're all the same
As a man, I'm perceived as interchangeable to you
