Love Is War Lyrics

[Intro]
Load your guns, take sides
Raise your flag, beccause baby, love is war

[Verse 1]
Hey baby, what ever 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 hanging on, but love is gone and now it's war
You got your weapons, baby I got mine
You tried to trap me with your bedroom eyes
Under the covers, across 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 trying 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
Aw, I used to love your candy baby, now the store is closed
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
Because 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 trying 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 fighting for

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

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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
