lyrics

Love Like War
Rick Parnell

A winter's melody
Twisted in my ear
I tried to look away
But the vision remains clear

Beauty never worked so hard
Or tried to burn so deep
Blue eyes never looked so dark
Or kept me from my sleep

There's something in this love
That looks like war
There's a smoking gun
A heart left on the floor
There's no light outside the door
She makes love ...
feel like war

I see my baby flash those teeth
With a growl too deep inside
No defense to save my neck
There's no safe place to hide

I never saw her coming
She wouldn't let me go
I stepped inside that night
And I'll never walk out that door

There's something in this love
That feels like war
There's a smoking gun
There's a heart left on the floor
There's no light outside the door
She makes love ...
look like war

I never saw it coming
I can't let her go
I stepped into the night
But I never got out the door

There's something in this love
That looks like war
There's a smoking gun
There's a heart left on the floor
There's no light outside the door
Loving her feels like war
She makes love ...
feel like war
