"Battlefield"
[Wayne Wilkins, Ryan Tedder, Louis Biancaniello, Sam Watters]


Don't try to explain your mind
I know what's happening here
One minute, it's love

And, suddenly, it's like a battlefield

One word turns into a

Why is it the smallest things that tear us down
My world's nothing when you're gone
I'm out here without a shield - can't go back, now


Both hands tied behind my back for nothing, oh, no
These times when we climb so fast to fall, again

Why we gotta fall for it, now...

Chorus:

I never meant to start a war
You know, I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know we're fighting for

Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like


Can't swallow our pride
Neither of us wanna raise that flag, mmm

If we can't surrender
Then, we're both gonna lose we have, oh, no


Both hands tied behind my back for nothing (nothing), oh, no
These times when we climb so fast to fall, again
I don't wanna fall for it, now...


Chorus:
I never meant to start a war

You know, I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know we're fighting for
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield

Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Better go and get your armor (get your armor), get your armor (get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your armor (get your armor), get your armor (get your armor)

I guess you better go and get your

We could pretend that we are friends, tonight (oh)

And, in the morning, we wake up, and we'd be alright
'Cause, baby, we don't have to fight
And I don't want this love to feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield

Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
I guess you better go and get your armor...


Chorus:
I never meant to start a war
You know, I never wanna hurt you

Don't even know we're fighting for
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield

I guess you better go and get your armor (get your armor), get your armor (get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your armor (get your armor), get your armor (get your armor)
Why does love always feel like (oh, oh)

Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield

I never meant to start a war

Don't even know what we're fighting for
I never meant to start a war
Don't even know what we're fighting for...
