Slash – Battleground lyrics

One more shot across the bow
One more bullet through the heart
You've got me bleeding on the ground
I got you wounded in the dark
Why do we always take this way too far?

Surrender tonight this time save tomorrow
Mama don't you let me down
This broken alliance
Leaves me so hollow
And wondering how

Did the bed that we made
Become our battleground

When the damage has been done
I know you're hurt, so don't pretend
Where we're used to making love
Now we're making war instead
Before it's too late
Lay your arms down, let me in

Surrender tonight this time save tomorrow
Mama don't you let me down
This broken alliance
Leaves me so hollow
And wondering how

Did the bed that we made
Become our battleground

Just hold your fire
Long enough to see
This ain't how it's supposed to be

Once all that we've got is lost
The walls will fall
Please don't let them fall on me

Ohhhhh

(Solo)

I wanna lay you down
Surrender all the sorrow (the sorrow)
Wanna lay you down
Surrender till it's gone

I wanna lay you down
Surrender to tomorrow (tomorrow)
Wanna lay you down
Surrender till it's gone
Yeah

(Lalalas)
Just surrender till it's gone
Just surrender till it's gone
(Vocalizing)

(Solo)

(Lalalas)
I don't wanna fight no more
Say *vocalizing*
I can feel it all there
I wanna tell right just then and there oh
Say yeah
Say yeah

I don't wanna fight this battle anymore.
