[Verse 1: Bradley]
Shining so bright on the floor like a diamond
He broke it out, now I struggle to find one, yeah
Your love is a mountain I promise I'll climb up
To the top, I won't stop
[Chorus: Bradley]
It's never been too easy
Loving in the dark
I know you're gonna mistreat me
So won't you play your part
I helped you battle your demons
I get they left a mark
Though you ain't got the feeling
You're stuck with the scars
[Post-Chorus: James]
Stuck with the scars
Stuck with the scars
Stuck with the scars
Stuck with the scars
[Verse 2: Bradley, All, Bradley & James]
So please take your time I've got all night, babe (Hey!)
And moving too fast it ain't my style, babe
If it takes more than a minute and you need some rest
Band aids for bullet holes, don't hold the best
Count on me to give your heart a test
To make you hold on tighter (Hey!)
[Chorus: Bradley]
It's never been too easy
Loving in the dark
I know you're gonna mistreat me
So won't you play your part
I helped you battle your demons
I get they left a mark
Though you ain't got the feeling
You're stuck with the scars
[Post-Chorus: James, Bradley]
Stuck with the scars
Stuck with the scars
Na, na, na, na
You're stuck with the scars
Stuck with the scars
You're stuck with the scars
Stuck with the scars
[Chorus: Bradley]
It's never been too easy
Loving in the dark
I know you're gonna mistreat me
So won't you play your part
I helped you battle your demons
I get they left a mark
Though you ain't got the feeling
[Outro: Bradley, James]
You're stuck with the scars
Stuck with the scars
Hey
You're stuck with the scars
Stuck, stuck, stuck with the scars
Stuck with the scars
You're stuck with the scars
Stuck with the scars
You're stuck with the scars
Stuck with the scars
You're stuck with the scars
You're stuck with the scars
You're stuck with the scars
