If Love Is a Battlefield

If love is a battlefield When sarcastic words are launched like glass hand grenades Shattering your dignity, you're bruised, battered and afraid When coming home fills you with a dreadful trepidation When your words walk on eggshells trembling in expectation When every word you utter, puts you in imminent danger When the man you said you'd love forever, is now a total stranger Chorus If love is a battlefield then, somethings not right Home should be a safe haven, not cut like a knife Oh, if love is a battlefield and there's a cry in the night It's time to seek shelter the choice is fight or flight When a question ignites a fire and the flames lick your skin Your hope burns to the ground your spirit dies within When your courage and your value have packed their bags and left All you want is some comfort and a simple day of rest Chorus You bravely, put out the fires one by one Thinking tomorrow will be better, when today is done but, When the bottle is his best friend your battle can't be won Unless he agrees that the whiskey is his real enemy Never, ever, will you have peace and be truly free.
