[Verse 1]
He gave me shadows for you to light up
He gave me wounds for you to kiss
He gave me tears for you to dry up
Oh, baby can you love me like this?

[Verse 2]
There were years, spent in the darkness
You were a light I couldn't miss
Healing now, the broken hearted
Oh, baby can you love me like this?

[Chorus]
Love, was a weapon of war
Now I've found the boundary lines behind your door
I, I swallow my pride
I'm hoping that you'll say you're staying by my side
By my side

[Verse 3]
If I had never known the sorrow
Would I recognize the bliss?
You gave me hope for tomorrow
Oh, baby can you love me like this?

[Chorus]
Love, was a weapon of war
Now I've found the boundary lines behind your door
I, I swallow my pride
I'm hoping that you'll say you're staying by my side
By my side
