Some Wounds Never Heal
He walked in with a load on his shoulder
And a twenty pound pain in his heart
With the tears in his eyes he looked older
And he didn't even know where to start
He spoke of wartime memories
And the injuries that he'd sustained
Said sometimes he wished he'd never come home
Cause that's where he left all his pain
Some wounds never heal
Some loves never part
When she said it was over and goodbye
That's when his world fell apart
In that letter he got on the front lines
It said I'm sorry I found someone new
I can't go on in fear and not knowing
All the sleepless nights I've worried bout you
Some wounds never heal
Sometimes true love parts
Injuries of the flesh can be healed
Unlike those of the heart
