If love is a battlefield new song version
If love is a battlefield
Sarcastic words
are launched
like glass hand grenades
Shattering her dignity,
she's bruised,
battered and afraid
When coming home
fills her with a
dreadful trepidation
When her words
walk on eggshells
trembling in expectation
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 every word
she utters, puts her
in imminent danger
When the man she said
she'd love forever,
is now a total stranger
When a question
ignites a fire
and the flames
lick her skin
Her hope burns
to the ground
her spirit dies within
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 her courage
and her value
have packed
their bags and left
All she wants
is some comfort,
and a simple day of rest
She 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,
the battle can't be won
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
fade
