[Verse]
We were fire and gasoline
Young and dumb
The perfect scene
Lockers slamming
Whispers loud
Promises made in a laughing crowd
You kissed my cheek
Said you’d never go
But love's a seed that won't always grow
[Chorus]
Man and woman
Battle lines drawn
Love was a soldier
But the war went on
We built a home
Then burned it down
Left a son to wear our crown
Man and woman
Hearts like stone
[Verse 2]
Your suitcase stood where our vows once sat
I screamed your name
You never looked back
In the photo box
I found your note
A battlefield in every word you wrote
[Prechorus]
And the echoes ring
Do you hear them still
From the high school halls to the house on the hill
[Chorus]
Man and woman
Battle lines drawn
Love was a soldier
But the war went on
We built a home
Then burned it down
Left a son to wear our crown
Man and woman
Hearts like stone
[Bridge]
He asks me why
I have no reply
Your eyes in his face
Your voice in his cry
I tell him stories
But leave out the fights
Skip to the part where we danced all night
