Michael Beatty: Lyrics & Listen

Battle Scars

(Michael Beatty)

Love is cold, love is hard

It will leave you battlescars

It will leave you at the station

Without a ticket in your hand

Then you'll recall

Right before the fall

When everything was perfect

And you took it all in stride

 

We all die a little

And we try a little

That is the way of life

We all try a little

Wonder why a little

That is the way of life

 

I was there by the way

And I had nothing to say

I was like a cactus

Out looking for the rain

Hallow or whole

All the shrapnel in my soul

Got me to believing

I can't take it anymore

 

We all die a little

And we cry a little

That is the way of life

We all try a little

Wonder why a little

That is the way of life

 

By the look and the sound

And all the pieces on the ground

You were only taken

For a minute and a day

Just count me in

Like a long lost friend

I'll see you in the trenches

Gonna watch the bullets fly

 

We all die a little

And we cry a little

That is the way of life

We all try a little

Wonder why a little

That is the way of life
