[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]

Never let a wound ruin me

But I feel like ruin’s wooing 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
Ab
And you know that you should know
And let her go
But the fear of the unknown

Holding another lover strong
Sends you back into the zone

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

Fm
(Then just leave)
You shouldn’t have but you said it
(And I hope you never come back)
C#
It shouldn’t have happened but you let it
Ab
Now you’re down on the ground screaming medic
Eb
The only thing that comes is the post-traumatic stresses
Fm C#
Shields, body armors and vests don’t properly work
Ab
That’s why you’re in a locker full of hurt
Eb
The enemy within and all the fires from your friends

The best medicine is to probably just let it win
