🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Love is a battlefield
  • You're beggin' me to go, then makin' me stay
  • Why do you hurt me so bad?
  • It would help me to know, do I stand in your way

Echo the hook

  • We are young
  • Heartache to heartache we stand
  • No promises, no demands
  • Love is a battlefield
