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... 
 [bad word]  
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... 
 [bad word]  
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... 
 [bad word]  
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...
