likening love to war

Ryan Adams

They can t save him
He must atone
In silence now alone
Whoever said they loved you
Perpetual excuse
God bless you, you re angry and so tired
Finish your sentence after you have expired
In silence we are both alone
In silence just as the sun
Burns the rooftops off
Burns the rooftops off

But we should hang
Likening love to war
Likening love
Likening love to war

These delicious memories
Cigarettes, hot kisses and brandy
All of your faith might restore
Where it will wash off and [?]
Another symbol of repression
Marching through university halls
Another summer of sick ideas
And summery boys
In silence you re both alone
And pay-off tomorrow
Just as the sun
Burns the rooftops off
Burns the rooftops off

And we should hang
Likening love to war
We should hang
We should hang
Likening love to war
Likening love
Likening love to war
We should hang
We should hang
Likening love to war
We should hang
We should hang
We should hang
Likening love to war
To war
