“Love and War”, is about a person leaving his partner either because of war or their well being, narrator still dearly misses them and listes the things and promises he keeps from his beloved.
[Verse 1]
Promise that you always will
Keep candles lit on the windowsill
You know I'll be comin' home
[Pre-Chorus]
You know I never wanted to go away
But what am I supposed to say
When I hear the sound of the trumpets call?
Who says
[Chorus]
All is (All is) fair in (Fair in)
All is fair in love and war
All is (All is) fair in (Fair in)
All is fair in love and war
[Verse 2]
I have your pictures kept close to my heart
Letters all but fall apart
Each night, I read them over again
[Pre-Chorus]
You know I never wanted to go away
But what am I supposed to say
When I hear the sound of the trumpets call?
Who says
[Chorus]
All is (All is) fair in (Fair in)
All is fair in love and war
All is (All is) fair in (Fair in)
All is fair in love and war
[Post-Chorus]
No, I never wanted to go away
I swear
I swear
It's war
[Refrain]
All is fair in love and war
All is fair in love and war
[Chorus]
All is (All is) fair in (Fair in)
All is fair in love and war
All is (All is) fair in (Fair in)
All is fair in love and war
[Outro]
All is fair, all is fair
All is fair in love and war
All is fair, all is fair
All is fair in love and war
