You say these books hold memories
More important than some old flame
I say well that is your decision
But it hurts me all the same
Because this is not love it is war
This is not love its war
And that is not what I signed up for
I see familiar faces
Assigned to all your walls
You assure me they are simply pictures
But I sense they are something more
Because this is not love its war
This is not love its war
And that is not what I signed up for
But the songs that I am 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
And that's all that I'm here for
Because this is love not war
This is love not war
And that's all that I'm here for
