the only way i can explain this song is by relating it to what im going through.....with that being said overall i think its about a relationship where both people pretended that they didnt like each other when in actuality they both really did. Something must have happened to make them admit there love for one another (she found another guy.) But instead of them wanting to move on and forget, they revert back to their stubborn habit of not admitting how they feel about one another. For the singer is afraid of getting hurt again, and the girl just doesnt want to look stupid since she already feels stupid for not seeing the connection. Thus making it literally a "heartbreak warfare" cause they are constantly attacking one another when in reality they want it to stop and start over. Just like in a war where no one wants to give in until they are defeated but in this case both people dont want to give into their feelings that is until they are defeated from the pain and hate that they have caused each other to feel.
Lighting strike
Inside my chest to keep me up at night
Dream of ways
To make you understand my pain (the singer finds out about the girl and her new boy)
Clouds of sulfur in the air
Bombs are falling everywhere
It's heartbreak warfare
Once you want it to begin
No one really ever wins
In heartbreak warfare
If you want more love
Why don't you say so
If you want more love
Why don't you say so (the singer is telling the girl that if she wanted love then why didnt you tell me, instead of
looking for another guy)
Drop his name
Push it in and twist the knife again
Watch my face
As I pretend to feel no pain (accidently or purposely the girl says the name of the guy she left the singer for,
this starts the war)
Clouds of sulfur in the air
Bombs are falling everywhere
It's heartbreak warfare
Once you want it to begin
No one really ever wins (start the relationship again, but there is still that mistrust and miscommunication)
In heartbreak warfare
If you want more love
Why don't you say so
If you want more love
Why don't you say so
Just say so
How come the only way to know how high you get me
Is to see how far I fall (they are both testing each others love by putting each other down)
God only knows how much I'd love you if you'd let me
But I can't break free at all (the singer is willing to work things out but he cant when she still has her
defenses up)
I don't care if we don't sleep at all tonight
Let's just just fix this whole thing now
I swear to God we're going to get it right
If you put your weapon down (singer finally admits his feelings, if only she would stop and listen)
Red wine and Ambien
You're talking shit again (instead failure)
It's heartbreak warfare
Good to know it's all a game
Disappointment has a name (singer finds out that there is really no use since the girl is continuously
messing around with his heart even when he finally gave up and told her
what she wanted to hear.)
