I never thought that love could be so cruel 

I never thought that i could be such a fool 

we had it all and then you walked away 

and now I'm holding out for yesterday 



runnin' around searching love in every night 

I'm walking through the cold cold city-light 

that's everything that's left for me to do 

I guess I never can stop loving you 



show me now what you feel for me 

deep inside you can set me free 

take me out of this misery 



come back and stay 

come back and stay 



Refrain (2x): 

love is a soldier 

love is a soldier 

breaking your heart 

breaking your heart 



love is a soldier 

love is a soldier 

it's tearin' apart 

it's tearin' apart 



love will tear us apart
