Battle Scars

Be careful not to burn any bridges we say
And then we turn and walk away
Twenty-twenty is the hindsight we say
We never look back anyway
Do we choose to heed words of wisdom?
Or would we rather make our own mistakes?
No matter what it costs to be who you are
It’s a price worth paying
Know when to slow down and when to work hard
Do you hear what I’m saying?
Think before you talk and crawl before you walk
Respect is not free it’s earned
Take a word from someone who knows
Make your mistakes lessons learned
Don’t be ashamed of your battle scars
And they pile up fast
And when they come back show them the door
These battle scars are past wounds
They’re not hurting me anymore
Make your mistakes lessons learned
