I live on a battlefield
Surrounded by the ruins of a love we built
And then destroyed between us
The smoke has cleared
As I stumble through the rubble
I'm dazed and seeing double
And I'm truly mystified

My new home is a shell hole
Filled with tears and muddy water
And the bits of broken heart
All around, there is a desolation
And scenes of a devastation
Of a love being torn apart
I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield

The one where not one single drop of blood has spilled
Is no less horrifying, sweet memories
Of a bygone situation
Now shattered, Lord, and battered
Lies scattered all around

My new home is a shell hole
Filled with tears and muddy water
Yes, and the bits of broken heart
All around, there is a desolation
And scenes of a devastation
Of a love being torn apart
I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield

And everything that can and has gone wrong (I live on a battlefield)
It's gonna take spine to carry on (I live on a battlefield)
Like a drowning man coming up for air (I live on a battlefield)
I'm looking for another survivor but I can't see one anywhere

My new home (my home is filled with muddy water)
All around (all around, there's bits of broken heart)
My world (my world)
Is one of a desolation
And scenes of a devastation
There is no consolation, for a love been torn apart

I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield, battlefield
I live on a battlefield (my home is filled with muddy water)
I live on a battlefield, battlefield
I live on a battlefield (all around, there's bits of broken heart)
I live on a battlefield, battlefield (my home is filled with muddy water)
I live on a battlefield, battlefield
