Battlefield
Jordin Sparks Lyrics

Don't try to explain your mind
The singer understands the other person's intentions and thoughts without them having to explain it.

I know what's happening here
The singer is aware of the situation and understands the other person's feelings.

One minute, it's love And, suddenly, it's like a battlefield
The relationship that was filled with love and positivity, quickly turns into a conflict where there is no love left between them anymore.

One word turns into a war
A small and insignificant word can cause a vast argument, and the situation can intensify quickly.

Why is it the smallest things that tear us down
Even the smallest issues can have a significant impact on a relationship and can cause damage to it.

My world's nothing when you're gone
The singer's life is meaningless if the other person is not present in it.

I'm out here without a shield, can't go back, now
The singer is exposed and vulnerable, and they cannot undo what has already happened.

Both hands tied behind my back for nothing, oh no
The artist feels helpless and unable to defend themselves, even though they did nothing wrong.

These times when we climb so fast to fall, again
The relationship is full of ups and downs, and they often reach a peak to immediately go back down again.

Why we gotta fall for it, now
The artist is questioning why they always end up in these situations, where their relationship is in turmoil.

I never meant to start a war
The singer never intended to cause an argument or conflict in the relationship.

You know, I never wanna hurt you
The artist cares about the other person and does not want to intentionally cause them any pain or harm.

Don't even know we're fighting for
The singer does not understand the reason behind the conflict, and they don't know what caused the argument in the first place.

Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
The singer is questioning why love always ends up feeling like a constant fight and conflict between two people.

Can't swallow our pride Neither of us wanna raise that flag, mm If we can't surrender Then, we're both gonna lose we have, oh, no
Both of them have too much pride to admit they're wrong, despite causing more damage to their relationship by not surrendering.

Better go and get your armor (get your armor) get your armor (get your armor)
They need to protect themselves from any potential harm and prepare themselves for the upcoming fight.

We could pretend that we are friends, tonight (oh) And, in the morning, we wake up, and we'd be alright Cause, baby, we don't have to fight And I don't want this love to feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Instead of fighting, they could pretend to be friends for the night and start over in the morning with a fresh perspective, and hopefully prevent this relationship from feeling like it's always a battle.

I guess you better go and get your armor (get your armor) get your armor (get your armor)
The singer is warning the other person to prepare themselves for the argument that will inevitably occur.

Don't even know what we're fighting for
The singer still does not understand the real reason behind the conflict and why it occurred in the first place.
