Love Not War

You say these books hold memories
More important than some old flame
I say well that’s your decision
But it hurts me all the same
Because this ain’t love its war
This ain’t love its war
And that’s not what I signed up for
I see familiar faces
Assigned to all your walls
You assure me they’re simply pictures
But I sense they’re something more
Because this ain’t love its war
This ain’t love its war
And that’s not what I signed up for
But the songs that I’m singing
Are just stories from before
And if you’d only listen in some more
You’d see this is love not war
This is love not war
And that’s all that I’m here for
And so to these far away places
You’re mind might sometimes roam
I hope that it’s not for longing
For with you my heart must go Because this is love not war
This is love not war
This is love not war
And that’s all that I’m here for
