Love is War

I had a dream I'm in a hospital room The patient is dying And I can tell the end is soon Then I wake up And I realize The patient was my heart And tears stream from my eyes I try to pretend That none of it was real I can hide the pain from you But I can't help the way I feel It's like our love's a war And I think I can survive it But I'm getting tired Of crying in private I feel like a soldier Hiding from the fight But if I can just make it through Another night How did I get here I shout Tears filling my lashes Did the flame just burn out And now I'm covered in ashes Burn marks and scars I had a dream I'm in a hospital room The patient is dying And I can tell the end is soon Then I wake up And I realize The patient was my heart And tears stream from my eyes I try to pretend That none of it was real I can hide the pain from you But I can't help the way I feel It's like our love's a war And I think I can survive it But I'm getting tired Of crying in private I feel like a soldier Hiding from the fight But if I can just make it through Another night How did I get here I shout Tears filling my lashes Did the flame just burn out And now I'm covered in ashes Burn marks and scars From the bombs we keep throwing Are we losing the battle Without even knowing It's like our love's a war And I think can survive it But I'm getting tired Of crying in private I feel like a soldier Hiding from the fight But if I can just make it through
