Love Is a War - Grafton Primary

It comes as a surprise

This strange uncertain heatwave

And the battle in your eyes

Is written here on this page

Love is a war

That’s what it’s here for

She handed you a knife

And you made the sacrifice

The blood upon the sacred ground

Now you are bound for life

Love is a war

That’s what it’s here for

You change your ways

Or feel the bullet in your brain

Love is a war

That’s what it’s here for

You change your ways

And you will never be the same

The ocean guides you home

The waves that leave you stranded

Beneath the undertow

The silence you demanded

She handed you a life

Which you didn’t recognise

No memory of happiness

And you let it pass you by

Love is a war

That’s what it’s here for

You change your ways

Or feel the bullet in your brain

Love is a war

That’s what it’s here for

You change your ways

And you will never be the same
