Heart Wars
Jennifer Rush · Other Songs - Jennifer Rush
Is this the state of all human relations
Words are like weapons, take aim and fire
Love loses reason in the name of desire
Heart wars I surrender
Let´s let some sunshine steal all the thunder
We better change ´cause it´s breaking us under
Heart wars I surrender to love
How can two people call themselves lovers
Giving and taking abuse from each other
This situation needs rearranging
How can we love when we waste ourselves waging
Heart wars I surrender
Let´s let some sunshine steal all the thunder
We better change ´cause it´s breaking us under
Heart wars I surrender to love
Heart wars I surrender to love
Heart wars I surrender to love
We stand alone with our pride as protection
We gotta find a different direction
Reach past our minds and end this destruction
Are we the world or the world our reflection
Heart wars I surrender
Let´s let some sunshine steal all the thunder
We better change ´cause it´s breaking us under
Heart wars I surrender to love
Heart wars I surrender to love
Heart wars I surrender to love
