Battlefield Lyrics
Lea Michele
It's easy to fall in love, but it's so hard to
Break somebody's heart
What seemed like a good idea has turned into a battlefield
Once lust has turned to dust and all that's left's held breath
Forgotten who we first met
What seemed like a good idea has turned into a battlefield
We both know it's coming, does illusion count for something - we hide
The surface tension's gotta break, one drop is all it takes to flood out this lie
You and I we have to let each other go
We keep holding on but we both know
What seemed like a good idea has turned into a battlefield
Peace will come when one of us puts down the gun
Be strong for both of us, no please don't run, don't run
Eye to eye we face our fears unarmed on the battlefield
We seemed like a good idea
No blood
Will spill if we both get out now
Still it's hard to put the fire out
What seemed like a good idea has turned into a battlefield
Feelings are shifting like the tide, and I think too much about the future
What seemed like a good idea has turned into a battlefield
We both know it's coming, does illusion count for something - we hide
The surface tension's gotta break, one drop is all it takes to flood out this lie
CHORUS
We seemed like a good idea (x4)
Break somebody's heart
What seemed like a good idea has turned into a battlefield
Once lust has turned to dust and all that's left's held breath
Forgotten who we first met
What seemed like a good idea has turned into a battlefield
We both know it's coming, does illusion count for something - we hide
The surface tension's gotta break, one drop is all it takes to flood out this lie
You and I we have to let each other go
We keep holding on but we both know
What seemed like a good idea has turned into a battlefield
Peace will come when one of us puts down the gun
Be strong for both of us, no please don't run, don't run
Eye to eye we face our fears unarmed on the battlefield
We seemed like a good idea
No blood
Will spill if we both get out now
Still it's hard to put the fire out
What seemed like a good idea has turned into a battlefield
Feelings are shifting like the tide, and I think too much about the future
What seemed like a good idea has turned into a battlefield
We both know it's coming, does illusion count for something - we hide
The surface tension's gotta break, one drop is all it takes to flood out this lie
CHORUS
We seemed like a good idea (x4)
