Put down all of my defense
I gave myself without pretence
You were sharpening your words for the offence
I am caught in friendly fire
Hanging here on your barbed wire
And surrender to the doubt of your desire
CHORUS
Making love is making war
I wonder who I’m fighting for
But my wounds will heal, on our private battlefield
I thought that you were on my side
Now I need a place to hide
‘Till the dust has cleared on our private battlefield
La da da da
There’s the dream, and there’s the truth
There’s a question, and the proof
Time to fight, time to lie down and call a truce
We all believe we have a cause
We put our trust in faith and loss
‘Till we find out in the end that no one wins,
but...
CHORUS
There’s no use in me pretending I’m not scared
You caught me cold and unaware
But I pray someday that peace may reign on our
private battlefield
CHORUS
