Dawn never came this morning While we were loading up and taking aim Triggered off with no warning Passion just burst into flame Clearly, talks have broken Good relations will now be erased Domestic policy has failed And home has turned to rubble Oh it's a terrible waste When love When love goes to war Baby, when love When love goes to war Our cause has been abandoned And now the goal is to hurt and attack No clear winner will emerge And what was precious cannot be brought back Doing permanent damage Fire's to far gone to cease I'm getting out while I still can Before you drop your bombs on me When love When love goes to war Baby, when love When love goes to war Love When love goes to war Baby, when love When love goes to war And just like any war there are survivors Who carry the scars, become a little bit wiser Some will forget and let peace be reinstated And some will always keep their hearts barricaded When love When love goes to war Baby, when love When love goes to war Lucky to survive When love When love goes to war Such a shame such a waste When love goes to war Senseless, senseless When love goes to war When love goes to war Yea Such a terrible shame
