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 seein' double
And I'm truly mystified
[Chorus:]
My new home is a shell-hole
Filled with tears and muddy water
And bits of broken heart
All around there is desolation
And scenes of 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 desolation
And scenes of devastation
Of a love being torn apart
I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield
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 drownin' man comin' up for air
( I live on a battlefield )
I'm lookin' 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 desolation, and scenes of 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
I live on a battlefield,
(My home, is filled with muddy water )
