Words of silence echo through this lonely room
Just a photograph and dreams that won't come true
I'll never know why I left you standin' in the rain
Cryin' tears of emptiness, it's drivin' me insane

All I wanted was to love you, never wanted to see you cry
All I need is just to hold you, I just can't say goodbye
Sometimes we raise our guns of pain but I'll be your defender
'Cause if love means war, then baby, I surrender

You use words as weapons, I use love as a shield
So tell me why are we on this battlefield?
In a blaze of glory, can we rise above these flames?
In a world of anger there's got to be a way

Sometimes we raise our guns of pain but I'll be your defender
'Cause if love means war, then baby, I surrender
We're just soldiers from the heart and I ain't no pretender
So lay down your arms and, baby, let's surrender

And though my aim is true
I sometimes miss the mark in matters of the heart
But I'd give my life tonight to hold you in my arms again

In a blaze of glory, can we rise above these flames?
In a world of anger there's got to be a way
I just wanna hold you, surrender
I just wanna love you, I'll defend you
I never meant to make you cry

Sometimes we raise our guns of pain but I'll be your defender
'Cause if love means war, then baby I surrender
We're just soldiers of from the heart but I ain't no pretender
So lay down you arms and, baby, let's surrender
Baby, let's surrender, baby, let's surrender
Baby, let's surrender, baby, let's surrender
Baby, let's surrender, baby, let's surrender
