Love Is a Battlefield

We are young,

heartache to heartache we stand.

No promises, no demands.

Love is a battlefield.

We are strong.

No one can tell us we're wrong.

Searching our hearts for so long,

both of us knowing

that love is a battlefield.

You're begging me to go,

then making me stay.

Why do you hurt me so bad?

It would help me to know

if I stand in your way.

Am I the best thing you've had?

Believe me, believe me.

I can't tell you why,

but I'm trapped by your love

and chained to your side.

We are young,

heartache to heartache we stand.

No promises, no demands

'cause love is a battlefield.

We are strong.

No one can tell us we're wrong.

Searching our hearts for so long,

both of us knowing

love is a battlefield.

When I'm losing control,

will you turn me away?

Or touch me deep inside?

When all this gets old,

will you still feel the same?

There's no way this will die.

And if we get much closer,

I could lose control.

And if your heart surrenders,

you'll need me to hold.

We are young,

heartache to heartache we stand.

No promises, no demands

'cause love is a battlefield.

We are strong.

No one can tell us we're wrong.

Searching our hearts for so long,

both of us knowing

love is a battlefield.

We are young,

heartache to heartache we stand.

No promises, no demands

'cause love is a battlefield.

We are strong.

No one can tell us we're wrong.

Searching our hearts for so long,

both of us knowing

love is a battlefield.
