If anybody had a reason
To turn around and walk away it was you
Nobody would have ever blamed ya
If you dusted off your hands and said "I'm through"
When everybody else was leaving
You could have packed your bags and headed out of town
Oh, but you kept on coming for me
'Cause you knew love is a battleground

And it's always a fight, don't feel fair sometimes
Sure ain't for the faint of heart
It cuts you like a knife, it can bleed you dry
Leave you feelin' torn apart
These wounds and scars, you wear 'em like a crown
Love is a battleground

When everybody said you're crazy
It's a hopeless case, a waste of time
Ain't nothin' ever gonna change it
Even all those prayers and all those tears you cried
But you walked right through the fire
Never thought of backing down
Yeah, you kept on coming for me
'Cause you knew love is a battleground

It's always a fight, don't feel fair sometimes
Sure ain't for the faint of heart
Cuts you like a knife, it can bleed you dry
Leave you feelin' torn apart
These wounds and scars, you wear 'em like a crown
Love is a battleground

Yeah, love is a battleground, ooh, yeah
Ooh, yeah
Ooh, love
Love is a battleground
Ooh, yeah

It's always a fight, don't feel fair sometimes
Sure ain't for the faint of heart
Cuts you like a knife, it can bleed you dry
Leave you feelin' torn apart
Oh, these wounds and scars, you wear 'em like a crown
Oh, it's a give and it's a take, the life that you laid down
Love is a battleground
Love is a battleground
