A Love Like War Lyrics

[Verse 1: Alex Gaskarth]
Make a wish on our sorry little hearts
Have a smoke, pour a drink, steal a kiss in the dark
Fingernails on my skin
Like the teeth of a shark, I'm intoxicated by the lie
In the chill of your stare, I am painfully lost
Like a deer in the lights of an oncoming bus
For the thrill of your touch, I will shamefully lust
As you tell me we're nothing but trouble

[Chorus: Vic Fuentes & Alex Gaskarth]
Heart's on fire tonight
Feel my bones ignite
Feels like war, war
Feels like war, war
Heart's on fire tonight
Feel my bones ignite
Feels like war, war
Feels like war, war

[Post-Chorus: Vic Fuentes & Alex Gaskarth]
We go together or we don't go down at all
We go together or we don't go down at all
We go together or we don't go down at all
Oh

[Verse 2: Alex Gaskarth]
Fail-safe trigger, lockdown call
Wipe the dry clean slate, quick, sound the alarm
No escape from the truth
And the weight of it all, I am caught in the web of a lie
And the bitch of it all is that I'm running from
The desire of the people to whom I belong
At the end of the day, you can tell me I'm wrong
'Cause you went to all of the trouble

[Chorus: Vic Fuentes & Alex Gaskarth]
Heart's on fire tonight
Feel my bones ignite
Feels like war, war
Feels like war, war
Heart's on fire tonight
Feel my bones ignite
Feels like war, war
Feels like war, war

[Post-Chorus: Vic Fuentes & Alex Gaskarth]
We go together or we don't go down at all
We go together or we don't go down at all
We go together or we don't go down at all
Oh, let's go!

[Bridge: Alex Gaskarth]
Heart's on fire tonight
Feel my bones ignite
It feels like war (It feels like war)
Love feels like war (Love feels like war)

[Chorus: Vic Fuentes & Alex Gaskarth]
Heart's on fire tonight
Feel my bones ignite
Feels like war, war
Feels like war, war
Heart's on fire tonight
Feel my bones ignite
Love feels like war, war
Feels like war, war (One more time!)

[Post-Chorus: Vic Fuentes & Alex Gaskarth]
We go together or we don't go down at all
We go together or we don't go down at all
We go together or we don't go down at all
Don't go down at all

[Outro: Vic Fuentes]
Is this the end of us (Of us)
Or just the means to start again?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
