Love During Wartime

David Marcouillier

Okay, this is the “finished” version…

Lyrics:

I’ve been meaning to get drunk and try to forget you.
Instead, I’m finding new ways to just upset you.
Baby, I just can’t stay in my mind,
Unintended and unsung, just like all the bad bad things I’ve done.
Baby, that’s and old conversation.

Baby, where did our love go?
And where were you on those tired and dirty nights
When I couldn’t sleep to save my life?
I was lying awake for days just waiting to hear from you.

I know I broke every promise that I ever made you
And I’m sorry that this came down to what it came to.
I’ll cross my heart and hope to die
With needles in my eyes, wearing a poorly planned disguise.
She’s a pale imitation.

Baby, where did our love go?
And where were you on those tired and dirty nights
When I couldn’t sleep to save my life?
I was lying awake for days just waiting to hear from you.

Well you know I always said that I’d do anything for you
But it seems I’ve done all I can.
There ain’t no sense in keeping on anymore
So let’s start up a war.
Let’s start us a war.
That’s a scared calculation.

Baby, where did our love go?
And where were you on those tired and dirty nights
When I couldn’t sleep to save my life?
I was lying awake for days just waiting to hear from you.
