Love and War
When you learn to love you learn to fight
A war that to you does not belong
When you learn to love you learn to fight
For the love that never seems to last long
When you learn to love you learn to fight
The love that seemed so surreal
Then you realize its time to take off the heavy armor
That surrounds the heart and allows it to feel
When you learn to love you learn to fight
Para el que cree que es su amor
The enemy of tu corazón
When you learn to love you learn to fight
The inclinations of your heart, no matter how strong
And whisper to you heart "only to me you belong"
For when you learned to love and you learned to fight
And you took down that armor allowing feelings to catch on
You were blind to see that the one you loved
Pierced through it a hundred times or more
But when you learned to love and learned to fight
Little did you know
You were helping the one you exposed your heart to
Rip it even more.
So never learn to love or to fight
as you only fight what you learned to love
But let the feeling of love approach you
For if the feeling stays then in your heart it truly belongs.
