Words of silence
Echo through this lonely room
Just a photograph and dreams
That won't come trueI'll never know why I left you
Standin' in the rain
Cryin' tears of emptyness
It's drivin' me insaneAll 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 - GoodbyeSometimes we raise our guns of pain
But I'll be your defender
'Cause if love means war
Baby I surrenderYou use words as weapons
I use love as a shield
So tell me why
Are we on this battlefieldIn a blaze of glory
Can we rise above these flames
In a world of anger
There's got to be a waySometimes we raise our guns of pain
But I'll be your defender
'Cause if love means was
Baby I surrenderWe're just soldiers from the heart
And I ain't no pretender
So lay down your arms
And baby let's surrenderAnd thought my aim is true
I sometimes miss the mark
Ooh, in matters of the heart
But I'd give my life tonight
To hold you in my armsIn a blaze of glory
Can we rise above these flames
In a world of anger
There's got to be a wayI just wanna hold you
Surrender
I just wanna love you
Surrender
I never meant to make you crySometimes we raise our guns of pain
But I'll be your defender
'Cause if love means war
Baby I surrenderWe're just soldiers of from the heart
And I ain't no pretender
So lay down you arms
And baby let's surrender
