Lyrics
Love Goes To War
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Dawn never came this morning
While we were loading up and taking aim
Triggered off with no warning
Passion just burst into flame
Clearly, talks have broken
Good relations will now be erased
Domestic policy has failed
And home has turned to rubble
Oh it's a terrible waste
When love
When love goes to war
Baby, when love
When love goes to war
Our cause has been abandoned
And now the goal is to hurt and attack
No clear winner will emerge
And what was precious cannot be brought back
Doing permanent damage
Fire's to far gone to cease
I'm getting out while I still can
Before you drop your bombs on me
When love
When love goes to war
Baby, when love
When love goes to war
Love
When love goes to war
Baby, when love
When love goes to war
And just like any war there are survivors
Who carry the scars, become a little bit wiser
Some will forget and let peace be reinstated
And some will always keep their hearts barricaded
When love
When love goes to war
Baby, when love
When love goes to war
Lucky to survive
When love
When love goes to war
Such a shame such a waste
When love goes to war
Senseless, senseless
When love goes to war
When love goes to war
Yea
Such a terrible shame
