Wounded

lyrics

[1]
Used to walk by his place
Haunted by the worlds I wouldn't say
And I'm sure, you never think about me

Finally figured out why I'm such a mess
And why I put us both through so much stress
You should know, you never really had me

I'm only half a heart
Burned and battered from the start
Don't you know

[Chorus]
Wounded
Can't put up a fight, love-scarred for life, and I'm broken.
Wounded
Barely holdin' on, a casualty of love, and I'm chokin'.
Wounded
Won't admit defeat, I'm feelin' weak and wasted
Wounded, wounded, wounded

[2]
Some say love is like a river
It's full of blood if you're the giver
After him, nothing even mattered

Had to take a break to rearrange my mind
'Cause his shell-shock love done drove me blind
You should know, you were all that mattered

Tore me down, he did me wrong
Can't keep dragging you along

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I got scars on my mind like stars in the sky (repeated in background)
The pages turn, the flames still burn
Memories fade, my pain stays

[Chorus out]
