Love
Look at the two of us
Drifting apart, it seems
Caught in a lonely dream
Now
Twisted and torn again
Out on the edge we've been
Can you just pull me in?
And fear begins to cloud your face
And common ground starts to break
You say you love me anyway
And I do
And it's war
Yeah, it's war
I can't escape
I'm up in flames
I can't live without you
And it's war
Yeah, it's war
Love is the pain
Call me by name
I can't live without you
Now
Now I'm surrendering
Hold up these empty hands
Don't shoot me down again
And how
How does a fool begin
Something he'll never win?
Tell me, 'causе I don't know
And it's war
Yeah, it's war
I can't escape
I'm up in flamеs
I can't live without you
And it's war
Yeah, it's war
Love is the pain
Call me by name
I can't live without you
I'm not the enemy
But darling, I do believe
You'll be the end of me
I can't let you go
It's the sound of fear
The sound of joy
The sound of life
Inside the noise
The sweetest sound is still your voice
And it's ringing in my head
And in the end, just take my hand
Hold me close and understand
That all our hurt and all our pain
Forgiven
And it's war
Yeah, it's war
I can't escape
I'm up in flames
Can't live without you
And it's war
Yeah, it's war
Love is the pain
Call out my name
Can't live without you
