Lyrics Nicole Atkins

Nicole Atkins

War Torn

Maybe I've been fooling myself

For thinking you should come back

And my last letter's going to break

All of the bridges we've spent years to make

All I can do is explain

All of the reasons I cannot stay

I've been to the front lines

And now there's no trace of hope left inside

I've been taken too far

I cracked when I tried to press my luck

Hoping you'd come pick me up

But my heart is war torn, war torn

If one's born into battle

And doesn't know any other kind of life

How could the battle seem so bad

When its all you've known and all you've had

I've been taken too far

I cracked when I tried to press my luck

Hoping you'd come pick me up

But my heart is war torn

War torn

This love is war torn
