# LOVE IS A FUCKING WAR **[Intro]** *(Clean guitar, distant ambience)* We used to call this love... Now every conversation feels like ammunition. Every “I miss you” turns into “I hate you.” Every promise comes with a fucking expiration date. And somehow... After everything we did to each other... I still can't let you go. *(Distorted guitar fades in)* Maybe that's the fucked-up part. Maybe love ain't supposed to hurt this much. **Maybe we just forgot how to stop fighting.** --- **[Verse 1]** We went from “forever” to “whatever” in a matter of months, Now every little argument is battering rams, You know exactly where to hit me, where it actually cuts, And I know exactly what to say that'll shatter your trust. We weaponize affection, turn connection into tension, Every kiss became a question, every touch became resentment, You'd tell me that you love me, then we'd scream until we're breathless, Then we'd hold each other crying like the war was never present. That's the fucked-up cycle, Love, hate, fight, denial, Cold silence, fake smiles, “Maybe we should take time.” Then one of us caves, And we're right back in the same place, Trying to put a Band-Aid on a bullet hole And calling it a safe space. I know I fucked up, You know you fucked up too, But somehow every apology Still turns into something new. Another accusation, Another night of frustration, Another “fuck you” followed by “I don't wanna lose you.” That's what makes it worse. --- **[Pre-Hook]** We keep dancing on the edge, While we're standing in the flames, You say you wanna walk away, Then you call me back again. Maybe we're addicted To the damage that we do... 'Cause every time I leave you, **I come running back to you.** --- **[Hook]** # LOVE IS A FUCKING WAR! We're fighting for something We don't even know we're fighting for, Every “I love you” sounds like “I can't take this anymore.” LOVE IS A FUCKING WAR! We're bleeding on the battlefield, Sleeping next to enemies That we used to fucking heal. You break me, I break you, Then we swear that we can change, But we keep loading bullets Into words we shouldn't say. LOVE IS A FUCKING WAR! And I don't know who's winning anymore... 'Cause every time I lose you, **I lose a piece of me.** --- **[Verse 2]** *(Drums kick harder, guitars become heavier)* You wanna talk about the problems? Let's fucking talk about 'em, Every skeleton we buried Got a reason we forgot 'em. You remember every failure, I remember every doubt, You remember when I hurt you, I remember when you walked out. So we keep a fucking ledger Of the damage we've accumulated, Every argument gets resurrected, Every wound gets excavated. You say I'm too defensive, I say you're too aggressive, You say I never listen, I say you never let me finish. Now we're talking over talking, While the room is fucking rocking, Both of us are throwing punches With the language that we're choosing. And I hate that I can feel it, That the love is underneath it, Like a dying fucking heartbeat Still refusing to stop beating. You can hear it in the silence, You can see it in our eyes, We're both terrified of losing What we're slowly killing inside. So tell me, is it worth it? All the screaming and the hurting? If we're both afraid to leave, **Why the fuck are we still burning?** --- **[Hook]** LOVE IS A FUCKING WAR! We're fighting for something We don't even know we're fighting for, Every “I love you” sounds like “I can't take this anymore.” LOVE IS A FUCKING WAR! We're bleeding on the battlefield, Sleeping next to enemies That we used to fucking heal. You break me, I break you, Then we swear that we can change, But we keep loading bullets Into words we shouldn't say. LOVE IS A FUCKING WAR! And I don't know who's winning anymore... 'Cause every time I lose you, **I lose a piece of me.** --- **[Bridge: Two Voices]** *(Music strips down to clean guitar)* **VOICE 1:** You don't fucking listen. **VOICE 2:** You don't fucking trust me. **VOICE 1:** You always make it about you. **VOICE 2:** Because you never tell me what you need! **VOICE 1:** You hurt me. **VOICE 2:** You hurt me too! **VOICE 1:** Then why are we still here?! **VOICE 2:** I DON'T KNOW! *(Silence)* **VOICE 1:** Do you still love me? **VOICE 2:** ... Do you? *(Long pause)* **VOICE 1:** That's the problem. **VOICE 2:** What? **VOICE 1:** I fucking do. *(Guitars explode)* --- **[Verse 3: Screamed / Rap-Metal]** I'M SICK OF THE CYCLE, THE FIGHTS AND THE TITLES, THE “FUCK YOU,” THE “FINE,” THEN THE “PLEASE DON'T GO” RECITAL! WE TURN EVERY FEELING TO A FUCKING APPEAL, THEN WE BLEED ON THE FLOOR TRYNA PROVE THAT IT'S REAL! You got your pain, I got mine, We got baggage By design, Every time we cross the line We pretend that we're fine! But we're NOT! We just got better at hiding the damage, Better at turning our love into panic, Better at making excuses for habits, Better at saying “forever” While knowing we can't fucking
