Love Is a Battlefield Lyrics

We are young
Heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield

We are strong
No one can tell us we're wrong
Searchin' our hearts for so long
Both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

You're makin' me go
Then makin' me stay
Why do you hurt me so bad
It would help me to know
Do I stand in your way
Or am I the best thing you've had

Believe me, believe me
I can't tell you why
But I'm trapped by your love
And I'm chained to your side

We are young
Heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield
We are strong
No one can tell us we're wrong
Searchin' our hearts for so long
Both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

When I'm losing control
Will you turn me away
Or touch me deep inside
And if all this gets old
Will it still feel the same
There's no way this will die

But if we get much closer I could lose control
And if your heart surrenders you'll need me to hold

We are young
Heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield
We are strong
No one can tell us we're wrong
Searchin' our hearts for so long
Both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

We are young
Heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield
We are strong
No one can tell us we're wrong
Searchin' our hearts for so long
Both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

Tch, the song and the music video tell two different stories. Which is one of the most annoying things I find in music. The song seems to be about a relationship (with the singer being yanked around a bit by their partner but still being true) where as the music video is apparently a girl who runs away from home, gets some sort of male service job it seems and rebels with the other girls.

Care to explain what you mean, deluded?

I take back what I said before. Literally, love to the singer is like a battlefield; they have their internal conflicts, but external (ie people disapproving of the couple's romantic relationship) are much stronger.

Criminy, I take it back again! deluded, I watched a portion of the music video and understand your post now. Forget what I'M saying!

I'm pretty sure it's 'both of us knowing' not 'from the first knowing.
