War of Love

War of Love

Unwrapping my heart from

The mess of a past

Looking back to fights

That led to shattered glass

Tattered pieces of paper

Unfinished love songs

Thinking our love was perfect

To find out I was wrong

In the pouring rain we danced

Like we had nothing to lose

Before the conversations

When you left me confused

Screaming words that

Made no sense at all

And I still keep the record of

That 2 hour phone call

(chorus)

How do u think I'd be okay

After all the songs you read?

I used to be the dreamer that

Laid next to you in this bed

This California sunshine is out

But im in an Oregon night

Watch these beautiful memories

Disappear in a blanket of white

So cruel to make me believe

That I was close to good enough

I was just another casualty

Another fallen from the war of love

I searched high and low

Holding to a shred of hope

For misguided directions

That'll lead you back home

A ghost of you seems

To linger this place

Still able to capture

The beauty of ur face

Making up stories that

Didnt happen at all

Shed my river wide tears while

Hiding in a bathroom stall

(chorus)

How do u think I'd be okay

After all the songs u read?

I used to be the dreamer that

Laid next to you in this bed

This California sunshine is out

But im in an oregon Night

Watch these beautiful memories

Disappear in a blanket of white

So cruel to make me believe

That I was close to good enough

I was just another casualty

Another fallen from the war of love

To this day I can hear you laughing

When I fell off that old park swing

Tied down to October, November

When you played with my heart strings

Just like the ones on my guitar

That's playing this song right now

Singing about the old love that

Has ended lying on the ground

(chorus)

How do you think I'm fine

With this heart filled of lead?

Why wont you still want me 

And break me instead?

A California sun's covered by 

Alaskan snowy clouds

Time has taken its toll

For me to find out

Such a shame that I

Never was good enough

Add another soldier to the list

Of the fallen in this war of love

So when you hear the song

Will it bring back the memories?

Cant remember the name but

When I hear it, it pains me

Given into what

So many forbid of

Cafes and theaters ended up

As battlefields in this war of love
