Fighting for Love

Read the lyrics below, it's a song sung by Jordin Sparks 


Don't try to explain your mind
I know what's happenin' here
One minute it's love
And suddenly it's like a battlefield

One word turns into a war
Why is it the smallest things that tear us down?
My world's nothing when you gone
I'm not here without a shield
Can't go back now

Both hands, tied behind my back for nothin'
Oh no, these times when we climb so fast to fall again
Why we gotta fall for it now

I never meant to start a war
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for

Why does love always feel like a battlefield
A battlefield, a battlefield?
Why does love always feel like a battlefield
A battlefield, a battlefield?
Why does love always feel like

Can't swallow our pride
Neither of us wanna raise that flag
If we can't surrender then we both gonna lose
What we have, oh no

Both hands tied behind my back with nothin'
Oh no, these times when we climb so fast to fall again
I don't wanna fall for it now

I never meant to start a war
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for

Why does love always feel like a battlefield
A battlefield, a battlefield?
Why does love always feel like a battlefield
A battlefield, a battlefield?


You better go and get your armor
(Get your armor)
Get your armor
I guess you better go and get your armor
(Get your armor)
Get your armor
I guess you better go and get your

We could pretend that we are friends tonight
(Oh, oh, oh)
And in the morning we'll wake up and it'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
Why does love always feel like a battlefield
A battlefield, a battlefield

Guess you better go and get your armor

I never meant to start a war
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for
(Fighting, fighting for)

Why does love always feel like a battlefield
A battlefield, a battlefield?
Why does love always feel like a battlefield
A battlefield, a battlefield?

I guess you better go and get your armor
(Get your armor)
Get your armor
I guess you better go and get your armor
(Get your armor)
Get your armor

Why does love always feel like?
Why does love always feel like?
A battlefield, a battlefield

I never meant to start a war
Don't even know what we're fighting for
I never meant to start a war
Don't even know what we're fighting for

So I have been thinking about the lyrics to this song lately and trying to figure out why someone would compare love to a battlefield?  
What where Wayne Wilkins, Ryan Tedder, Louis Biancaniello, and Sam Watters trying to get across to the pop culture world? 
I would hope to think that they wanted us to see that love does take compromise otherwise it can feel like a battlefield and even when we do compromise it still may feel like a battlefield for a time. Some would say I have yet to love and they maybe right but I do truly believe that we all have loved and that we all know to some extent what it means to have to compromise for someone else. I think that as we look deeper into love and the meaning that it truly holds we can see how love truly is a fight. It has to be something worth fighting for otherwise it's not love. 
So, in this battlefield called love are we truly fighting for what we believe in? 
Are we standing by the ones we love?
Are we willing to give our lives?


Or are standing guard waiting to start a war? If we aren't fighting for love we should not be fighting at all. We are fighting a pointless battle if it is not for love.


Where in your life are you fighting a battle that now looking back seems pointless?


Where should you be fighting a battle but you have given up?




I am fighting a battle that I am not willing to give up on yet. I know it may seem pointless to some and may not make sense to others but it is a battle of the heart and it is for love. So, I will keep fighting until I have no more strength and until my time has run out I will give my all.
Love is worth fighting for!
