Battle Marks

[Verse 1] Drained from all the mercy I keep handing out Giving up my light to souls that only take Staying gentle leaves me feeling cold and worn out Yeah I got used to breaking just to ease their ache Never saw how fast they slowly emptied me Burying my limits where no one else can see [Pre-Chorus] I spot the danger signs but still I charge ahead Lighting up their darkness with the fire that I bled [Chorus] I’m done pretending I can carry all this weight Got these quiet wounds from every kindness that I gave But I wouldn’t change it even if I had the chance I refuse to hide these battle marks I wear I keep pushing way too hard against myself Always being gentle with the ones who drag me down, that’s why I’m feeling like hell But I wouldn’t change it even if I had the chance [Verse 2] Picking up the pieces that they leave behind Smiling through the fire while my insides burn Being open only ever left me bound and blind Yeah I got used to giving what I’ll never earn Never counted what it cost to stay this kind Swallowing the anger till it poisons up my mind [Pre-Chorus] I see the warning lights but still I walk right in Offering my warmth to hearts that live in sin [Chorus] I’m done pretending I can carry all this weight Got these quiet wounds from every kindness that I gave But I wouldn’t change it even if I had the chance I refuse to hide these battle marks I wear I keep pushing way too hard against myself Always being gentle with the ones who drag me down that’s why I’m feeling like hell But I wouldn’t change it even if I had the chance [Bridge] Someday I might save a little more for me But right now I’m still here wearing what they leave Yeah they’re healing… [Final Chorus] I’m done pretending I can carry all this weight Got these quiet wounds from every kindness that I gave But I wouldn’t change it even if I had the chance I refuse to hide these battle marks I wear I keep pushing way too hard against myself Always being gentle with the ones who drag me down that’s why I’m feeling like hell But I wouldn’t change it even if I had the chance #stayhappy #wearethejoat #positivevibes #positivity #keepgoing #keeppushing #keepfighting #itsnottoolate #itsnotoveryet
