Battleground

One more shot across the bow
One more bullet through the heart
You've got me bleeding on the ground
I've got you wounded in the dark
Why do we always
Take this way too far?
Surrender tonight
There's time save tomorrow
Mama don't you let me down
This broken alliance
Leaves me so hollow
And wondering how
Did the bed that we made
Become our battleground?
Well the damage has been done
I know you hurt so don't pretend
Where we're use to making love
Now we're making war instead
Before it's too late
Lay your arms down let me in
Surrender tonight
This time save tomorrow
Mama don't you let me down
This broken alliance
Leaves me so hollow
And wondering how
Did the bed that we made
Become our battleground?
Just hold your fire
Long enough to see
This ain't how it's supposed to be
Once all that we've got is lost
The walls will fall
Please, don't let them fall on me
I wanna lay you down
Surrender all the sorrow
The sorrow
Wanna lay you down
Surrender till it's gone
I wanna lay you down surrender
Till tomorrow
Tomorrow
Wanna lay you down surrender till it's gone
Just surrender till it's gone
Just surrender till it's gone
I don't want to fight no more
I don't want to fight this battle anymore
