Battlefield Lyrics
Don't try to explain your mind,
I know what's happened here
One minute it's love,
and suddenly it's like a battlefield
One word turns into a --
Why is it the smallest things that tear us down?
My world's nothing when you're gone
I'm out here without a shield
Can't go back now
Both hands tied behind my back for nothing
(Oh, no)
These times when we climbed so fast to fall again
(Why we got to fall for it now?)
I never meant to start a war
You know, I never want to hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for
Why does love always feel like a battlefield?
A battlefield
A battlefield
Why does love always feel like a battlefield?
A battlefield
A battlefield
Why does love always feel like --
Can't swallow our pride and neither of us want to raise that flag
(Mmm)
If we can't surrender, then we both gonna lose what we have
(Oh, no)
Both hands tied behind my back for nothing
(Nothing, oh, no)
These times when we climbed so fast to fall again
(I don't want to fall for it now)
I never meant to start a war
You know, I never want to hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for
Why does love always feel like a battlefield?
A battlefield

Better go and get your armour
(Get your armour)
Get your armour
I said you better go and get your armour
(Get your armour)
Get your armour
I guess you better go and get your --
We could pretend we are friends tonight
And in the morning, we'd wake up and we'd be all right
'Cause baby, we don't have to fight
And I don't want this love to feel like a battlefield
A battlefield
A battlefield
Why does love always feel like a battlefield?
A battlefield
A battlefield
Guess you better go and get your armour
I never meant to start a war (start a war)
You know, I never want to hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for (fighting for)
Why does love always feel like a battlefield?
A battlefield
A battlefield
Why does love always feel like a battlefield?
A battlefield

Guess you better go and get your armour
(Get your armour)
Get your armour
Said you better go and get your armour
(Get your armour)
Get your armour
Why does love always feel like --
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Why does love always feel like?
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Yay, first commentor on her new song! I think this song means that you are in love with someone and you know they love you back but they always end up fighting about little things that shouldnt matter so much.
Possibly. Who knows. It's in the eye of the beholder. Why I listen to romance songs is above my idea of understanding.

love this song <3
i love this song,
i think its about how when couples fight, theres so much emotion behind it. So i think the "get your armor" part is more like you emotional armor. love is always a battlefield, cause when something happens its got your heart enterwined.
they say that marriage is the only war in which you sleep with the enemy haha.
So I listened to this a couple of times to give her a chance. She is obviously angry. I think it goes back to her belief of what love is. Jordin Sparks thinks she will stay with someone for the rest of her life. 1 in 2 marriages end.. just saying. Anyways she is mad because this guy is leaving her because she is almost 20 years old and is not putting out. So she makes it into a game and shit, I get it. She is telling him to get his armour because she is gonna make this a fight. Come on Jordin, what happened to No Air?
BTW I like this song, it is good. I just really like her better when she is singing a love song that is slower not as fast. Good first single choice :)

I dont think that her not putting out has really anything to do with the song. I think it's pretty much just about a relationship that is going down hill and that their fighting for completely different things. and it IS a love song...just about a love gone wrong, sorry it's not sappy and cliche enough for you. Also, I really quite like the anger in jordin spark's voice it adds alot more emotion. When she was performing on American Idol there was deff alot of anger and emotion on that stage. Love it.

I agree with cutthroatcupcake, its got nothing to do with her not putting out! lol, I cant really see where you even got that, but ahwell Totally just about how its a battlefield since theyre always fighting, but she's not giving up.

hey, are you projecting?

what u said makes no sense whatsoever. She didnt write this song. She's just performing it. you know nothing about her life and/or relationships. You people need to stop trying to act like you know everything. It is a song she was given to sing and she did just that. let it go.

wow you totally missed the point of the song!! what she is saying is love can be hard and it changes sometimes..sometimes people get into fights over something stupid and a while later they dont even know what they started fighting for..when she says go get your armor she is just saying to be ready when a fight is coming so u dont get too hurt by it.

I think it means that all relationships fade.
I love the part where the music drops out and she's just singing "A battle field, a battlefied, a battle field.. I guess you better go get your armour.."
when her voice goes all croaky on that high note <3 Gorgeous voice
i love her. but i hate this fuckin song.
This is so not my style of music but I'm in love with this song (don't tell my friends!). I don't think it's about a relationship that's going downhill, though, because she says that love "always" feels like a battlefield, which I can completely relate to.
It's what happens when you have two really strong, passionate personalities in a relationship. Sometimes they clash and have to war it out, but they get through it. She tells him to get his armor because she isn't going to back off. She's going to fight to maintain their love and their relationship but she's not going to do it by just lying down and being passive.
i love this song its what im going through right now with my bf we fight over everything and i dont know why its feel really hard to keep doing it every day
I agree. I'm in the same thing. He's too stubborn. Partly selfish. I'm always wrong. And it's killing me inside.

What do we do?

Anyone who just says leave; that's easier said than done when you care so much.

Great song.
Great song.
When she says, "I guess you'd better go and get your armour," it gives me chills. I don't listen to anything in the top 40 but the first two words of that line choke me up slightly, they sound so resigned and tired of the whole battle.
I think this is about both people in a relationship fighting for the upper hand - sometimes it seems like the best option because you're less likely to get hurt that way, but there shouldn't be an upper hand in love: it should just work.
