Never let a wound ruin me

Arrow holes, they never close from Cupid on a shooting spree

Feeling stupid cause I know it ain't no you and me

But when you're trying to beat the odds up
Been trying to keep your nods up

And let her go

Hold another lover strong

With no Tom Hanks to bring you home
A lover not a fighter

On the front line with a poem,
Trying to write yourself a rifle

Maybe sharpen up a stone
To fight the tanks and drones of you being alone

The enemy within and all the fires from your friends
