Words of silence echo
Through this lonely room
Just a photograph
And dreams that won't come true
I'll never know why I left you standin'
In the rain
Cryin' tears of emptyness
It's drivin' me insane
All 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 goodbye
Sometimes we raise our guns of pain
But I'll be your defender
'Cause if love means war
Then baby I surrender
You use words as weapons
I use love as a shield
So tell me
Why are we on this battlefield
In a blaze of glory
Can we rise above these flames
In a world of anger
There's got to be a way
Sometimes we raise our guns of pain
But I'll be your defender
'Cause if love means war
Then baby I surrender
We're just soldiers from the heart
And I ain't no pretender
So lay down your arms
And baby let's surrender
And though my aim is true
I sometimes miss the mark
Ooh, with matters of the heart
But I'd give my life tonight
To hold you in my arms today
In a blaze of glory
Can we rise above these flames
In a world of anger
There's got to be a way
I just wanna hold you
(Surrender)
I just wanna love you
Baby I'll defend ya
(Surrender)
I never meant to make you cry
Sometimes we raise our guns of pain
But I'll be your defender
'Cause if love means war
Then baby I surrender
We're just soldiers from the heart
And I ain't no pretender
So lay down you arms (lay down your arms)
And baby let's surrender
Baby let's surrender (yeah, yeah)
Baby let's surrender
Baby let's surrender (lay down your arms)
Baby let's surrender (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Baby let's surrender
Baby let's surrender
Baby let's surrender
Baby let's surrender
