Battlefield lyrics

I live on a battlefield

Surrounded by the ruins

Of the love we built

And then destroyed between us

The smoke has cleared

As I stumble through the rubble

I'm dazed, seeing double

And I'm truly mystified

My new home

Is a shell-hole filled

With tears and muddy water

And bits of broken heart

All around, all around

There is desolation

Scenes of devastation

Of a love been torn apart

Oh, baby, hey

I live on a battlefield

Though one where not one single

Drop of blood has spilled

Is no less horrifying

Sweet memories

Of a bygone situtation

Lie shattered, torn and battered

and scattered all around

My new home

Is a shell-hole filled

With tears and muddy water

And bits of broken heart

All around, all around

There is desolation

Scenes of devastation

Of a love been torn apart

Everything that can

Has gone wrong

It's gonna take spine to carry on

Like a drowning woman coming up for air

I'm looking for another survivor

I can't see one anywhere

My new home

Is a shell-hole filled

With tears and muddy water

And bits of broken heart

All around, all around

There is desolation

Scenes of devastation

Of a love been torn apart

Yeah, baby

I live on a battlefield

Hey

I live on a battlefield

Can't go on, baby

Tears and muddy water

Scattered all around me, babe

I live on a battlefield

I live on a battlefield

I live on a battlefield

I live on a battlefield

Can't go on, baby
