Lyrics

I'm a man
I'm trying to understand
The reason I'm lost in this world
Tonight
I was blind
I just couldn't see the signs
I'm caught in your web of lies
It's too dark to see, too late to pray
Too hard to reach, too much to save
You were once a friend to me
Now you are my enemy
Passion turns to hate and you make
Hate worth fighting for
I will rewrite history
And you will not exist to me
On the day you crossed the line
I found out love is war
Life goes by
Faster than lightning strikes
Crashes before you can say
Goodbye
Too scared to run, too proud to hide
Too far to fall, too high to climb
You were once a friend to me
Now you are my enemy
Passion turns to hate and you make
Hate worth fighting for
I will rewrite history
And you will not exist to me
On the day you crossed the line
I found out love is war
I lay down my defenses
I opened up the door
I gave you what you wanted
I couldn't give you more
And I gave you everything
You said "It's all or nothing"
To you it's just a game
A game you never losing
You were once a friend to me
Now you are my enemy
Passion turns to hate and you make
Hate worth fighting for
I will rewrite history
And you will not exist to me
On the day you crossed the line
I found out love is war
You were once a friend to me
Now you are my enemy
Passion turns to hate and you make
Hate worth fighting for
I will rewrite history
And you will not exist to me
On the day you crossed the line
I found out love is war
Found out love is war
