  • Somebody said every day, was gon' be sunny skies
    Only Marvin Gaye and lingerie, I guess somebody lied
    We started discussin' it to fightin' then "Don't touch me, please"
    Then it's, "Let's stop the madness, just come lay with me"
    And truth be told I'm wavin' my flag before it goes bad, yeah yeah
    'Cause we made it this far on for better or worse
    I wanna feel it even if it hurts
    If I gotta cry to get to the other side, let's go 'cause we're gon' survive, oh

    We stay on the front lines
    Yeah, but we're still here after the bomb drops
    We go so hard we lose control
    The fire starts then we explode
    When the smoke clears we dry our tears
    Only in love and war

    Sometimes you're my general, you quarterback all these plays
    Sometimes you're my enemy and I'm throwin' grenades
    We'll just be chillin' and laughin', I'm layin' on your chest
    Don't know what happened 'cause things just went left
    But here we go back down that road
    That's just the way that it goes
    'Cause we made it this far on for better or worse
    I wanna feel it even if it hurts
    If I gotta cry to get to the other side, as long as you're there I'll survive oh

    We stay on the front lines
    Yeah but we're still here after the bomb drops
    We go so hard we lose control
    The fire starts then we explode
    When the smoke clears we dry our tears
    Only in love and war

    As long as we make up after every fight when it's over
    You know I'm comin' home right there where I belong
    I'm takin' off this armor oh-oh-oh-whoa-ooh-oh-oh

    And we stay on the front lines
    Yeah but we're still here after the bomb drops
    We go so hard we lose control
    The fire starts then we explode baby
    When the smoke clears we dry our tears
    Only in love and war
    Only in love and war
    Only in love and war Writer/s: Darhyl Camper, Lashawn Daniels, Makeba Riddick, Tamar Braxton
