Lyrics I Wish I'd Written: Love and War by Tamar Braxton

Love and War

Somebody said every day was gon' be sunny skies

Only Marvin Gaye and lingerie

I guess somebody lied

We started discussin', then to fightin', then don't touch me please

Then it's let's stop the madness, just come lay with me

And truth be told, I'm wavin' my flag before it goes bad, yeah yeah

Cause we made it this far on for better or worse

I wanna feel it even if it hurts

If I gotta cry to get to the other side

Let's go 'cause we're gon' survive, oh

We stay on the front lines

Yeah, but we're still here after the bomb drops

We go so hard we lose control

The fire starts then we explode

When the smoke clears we dry our tears

Only in love and war

Sometimes you're my general

You quarterback all these plays

Sometimes you're my enemy and I'm throwin' grenades

We'll just be chillin' and laughin', I'm layin' on your chest

I don't know what I did cause things just went left

But here we go back down that road

That's just the way that it goes

Cause we made it this far on for better or worse

I wanna feel it even if it hurts

If I gotta cry to get to the other side

As long as you're there, I'll survive, oh

We stay on the front lines

Yeah, but we're still here after the bomb drops

We go so hard we lose control

The fire starts then we explode

When the smoke clears we dry our tears

Only in love and war

As long as we make up after every fight when it's over

You know I'm comin' home, right there, where I belong

I'm takin' all this over

Oh-oh-oh-whoa-ooh-oh-oh

We stay on the front lines

Yeah, but we're still here after the bomb drops

We go so hard we lose control

The fire starts then we explode, baby

When the smoke clears we dry our tears

Only in love and war

Only in love and war

Only in love and war
