Love is a Battlefield

Don't try to explain your mind
I know what's happening here.
One minute, it's love
And, suddenly, it's like a battlefield.

One word turns into a
Why is it the smallest things that tear us down?
My world's nothing when you're gone
I'm out here without a shield - can't go back, now.

Both hands tied behind my back for nothing,
These times when we climb so fast to fall, again
Why we gotta fall for it, now...

I never meant to start a war
You know, I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know we're fighting for
Why does love always feel like a battlefield?

Can't swallow our pride
Neither of us wanna raise that flag,
If we can't surrender
Then, we're both gonna lose we have,

Both hands tied behind my back for nothing,
These times when we climb so fast to fall, again
I don't wanna fall for it, now...

I never meant to start a war
You know, I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know we're fighting for
Why does love always feel like a battlefield?

We could pretend that we are friends, tonight
And, in the morning, we wake up, and we'd be alright
'Cause, baby, we don't have to fight
And I don't want this love to feel like a battlefield?

I never meant to start a war
You know, I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know we're fighting for
Why does love always feel like a battlefield?

I never meant to start a war
Don't even know what we're fighting for.
