Battle Tested

This is a song I wrote for my mother. We have been through a lot in our lives, but have made it this far. In other words, we've been battle tested...

Verse

like I need to remind you

of all the shit we’ve lived through

I don’t need to ask anymore

if you love me too

from stains and a bruise

Ive walked in your shoes

you’re strong as nails

you’ve been there too

life is a battle

but it’s worth living

for just another day

of fresh air breathing

I need you to know

we’ve all grown

from a broken home

but just one thing

will never change

Chorus

although we’ve both been battle tested

we both know the tears collected

and we know the battle never ended

Through this war waged on our emotions

Fight after fight, through all the commotion

your heart is strong and battle tested

Bridge

I’ve called you crying many times

I have learned from all the lies

you know this

there’s been some hard times.

through love and loss

and the silent applause

we’ve risked a lot

and built so small

although one thing

remains so pure

I’ll grab my spear

grab your sword

(repeat chorus)

our hearts have been battle tested

all of our hearts

battle tested

battle tested

battle tested
