Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don't try to explain your mind
I know what's happening here
One minute it's love
Then suddenly it's like a battlefield
[Verse 2]
One word turns into a war
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
[Verse 3]
Both hands tied behind my back for nothing, oh no
These times when we climb so fast to fall again
Why we gotta fall for it now?
[Verse 4]
I never meant to start a war
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for
[Verse 5]
Why does love always feel like
A battlefield
A battlefield
A battlefield
Why does love always feel like
A battlefield
A battlefield
A battlefield
Why does love always feel like
[Verse 6]
Can't swallow our pride
Neither of us wanna raise that flag, mmm
If we can't surrender
Then we're both gonna lose what we have, oh, no
[Verse 7]
Both hands tied behind my back for nothing, oh no
These times when we climb so fast to fall again
I don't wanna fall for it now
[Verse 8]
I never meant to start a war
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for
[Verse 9]
Why does love always feel like
A battlefield
A battlefield
A battlefield
Why does love always feel like
A battlefield
A battlefield
A battlefield
[Verse 10]
You better go and get your armor
(Get your armor)
Get your armor
(Get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your armor
(Get your armor)
Get your armor
(Get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your
[Verse 11]
We could pretend that we are friends tonight (Oh oh oh)
And in the morning, we'll wake up and we'll be alright
'Cause, baby, we don't have to fight
And I don't want this love to feel like
[Verse 12]
A battlefield
A battlefield
A battlefield
Why does love always feel like
A battlefield
A battlefield
A battlefield
Guess you better go and get your armor
[Verse 13]
I never meant to start a war
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for
[Verse 14]
Why does love always feel like
A battlefield
A battlefield
A battlefield
Why does love always feel like
A battlefield
A battlefield
A battlefield
[Verse 15]
I guess you better go and get your armor
(Get your armor)
Get your armor
(Get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your armor
(Get your armor)
Get your armor
(Get your armor)
[Verse 16]
Why does love always feel like
Why does love always feel like
A battlefield, a battlefield
[Verse 17]
I never meant to start a war
Don't even know what we're fighting for
I never meant to start a war
Don't even know what we're fighting for
