What Love Did To Me

Before you start a war
You better know what you're fighting for
We found love right where we are
Laying under the stars
You’re the one I adore

I’ll throw away my faith just to keep you safe
You’re my saving grace
Someone like you cannot be replaced
In my heart is your place
My heart is what you chase
Kiss me with a straight face
If I fall you catch me just in case
Now I feel like I have you misplaced

If love is what you need a soldier I will be
I’d surely hope you agree 
We have our names carved in the old tree 
Our love was like one two and three
I thought you would come with me
You show me no love I see
You said you wanted to be free
Your head filled with greed
I begged and plead
My love continues to bleed
You're not the soldier I need
Messing with me is what you lead
You have succeed

If you didn’t fight for what you want 
Then don’t cry for what you’ve lost
I knew being with you had a cost
My loved is what you have tossed
I thought we would last
I want to go back to the past
My heart is like glass
You broke it with alot of mass
I thought you had more class

You’re name is all I could cry for
Still remember the coat you wore
That made my heart feels lower than the ground floor
I didn't know what you had in store
Never leave me is what you swore
I guess i wasn't’ the girl you were looking for

You did it again once more
Was loving me like a chore?
Hurting me is all you adore
Lying to me under the stars
We never found love where we are 
Breaking me is what you’re fighting for
I do not know the score
But the battle has ended, but you have won the war
