Love Is War lyrics

[Intro]
Load your guns
Take sides
Raise your flag
'Cause, baby, love is war

[Verse 1]
Hey, baby
Whatever happened to the girl next door?
If I remember, she looked a lot like you
Whatever happened to the boy who said, "I'd die for you"?
We're hangin' on, but love is gone and now it's war

[Pre-Chorus]
You got your weapons, baby, I got mine
You'll try to trap me with your bedroom eyes
Under the covers, 'cross the enemy lines
When you don't know, you just say no

[Chorus]
Tell me why love is war
When the battle is done, you still want more
Every broken heart is tryin' to even the score
It's the way of the world, love is war
Where boy meets girl, love is war
[Verse 2]
Oh, I remember when the love was good and the bed was hot
But now we sleep on separate sides and the sheets are cold
I used to love your candy, baby, now the store is closed

[Pre-Chorus]
I know my silence tears you up inside
You built a fortress for your hurt to hide
You think you've won, but it's a tie
'Cause nobody wins a war of pride

[Chorus]
Tell me why love is war
When the battle is done, you still want more
Every broken heart is tryin' to even the score
It's the way of the world, love is war
Where boy meets girl, love is war

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Tell me why love is war
What the hell are we fightin' for?

[Chorus]
Tell me why love is war
When the battle is done, you still want more
Every broken heart is tryin' to even the score
It's the way of the world, love is war
Tell me why love is war
When the battle is done, you still want more
Every broken heart is tryin' to even up the score
It's the way of the world, love is war
[Outro]
War, love is war
War, love is war
War, love is war
War, love is war
