Lightning strike Inside, my chest to keep me up at night Dream of ways To make you understand my pain 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? Drop his name Push it in and twist the knife again Watch my face As I pretend to feel no pain, pain, pain 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?
This is great. But damn you wanna hear something beautiful that will make you cry listen to his intro and live version of heartbreak warfare at hotel cafe in 2009. he plays "war of my life" first. That is the most beautiful version I've ever heard. Not to mention the guitar is phenomenal
holy shit that video is incredible thank you for the recommendation. That version is one of the most if not the most beautiful version of one of his songs.
The little speech in the middle of this performance is pretty heavy...and kinda heartbreaking, too: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b3GbreZ7rzU.html
Well, When you can't get through to somebody by loving them your next choice is to get through to them by hurting them :) Lightning strikes Inside my chest to keep me up at night Dream of ways To make you understand my pain 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? Drop his name Push it in and twist the knife again Watch my face As I pretend to feel no pain, pain, pain.. 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? Just say so... How come the only way to know how high you get me is to see how far I fall? God only knows how much I'd love you if you let me but I can't break through it all. It's a heart... heartbreak... I don't care if we don't sleep at all tonight Let's just fix this whole thing now I swear to God we're gonna get it right If you lay your weapon down Red wine and Ambien You're talking shit again, it's heartbreak warfare Good to know it's all a game Disappointment has a name, it's heartbreak, heartbreak. It's heartbreak warfare It's heartbreak warfare It's heartbreak warfare
"when you can't get through to somebody by loving em', the next choice is to get through them by hurting em' and that's what Heartbreak Warfare is about, I don't recommend it.." deep AF..
Wow i loved the intro at the start of this,,, thanks so much for posting, listening to acoustic versions of mayer's songs is like seeing them from a new perspective, so much put in to each performance!

Great stuff...anyone else see Battle Studies as a concept album? The track listing and the songs sort of a storyline...sort of as a struggle to find peace and compromise betwen two lovers, when they realize that there is no chance of any.
This was the version I heard for the first time on sirius and it pales in comparison to the album version. Like many have mentioned - where can we get this? And it's not on Storytellers.
@its4amandicantsleep I actually already saw him when he came to Louisville back in March. I had some great seats and the show was amazing!! So if you're going to see him you've got a good show in store for you.
@ak231510 ACtually, The Village Sessions also includes Good Love Is On The Way, wich isn't on Continuum :P So officially it's an album with acoustic Continuum- and Try! covers. I'm just sayin'.
@Smartiesvreter Does he really say "thermo nuclear war"? I´m no native speaker, but I always understood pheromone nuclear war" which I thought suited his kind of weird humor.
@its4amandicantsleep Yeah I understand that, but I will say that sometimes the beauty in music is not being absolutely perfect every time. That's not to say that you can be atrocious sometimes, but when you're still able to pull it off, there's some beauty in it to an extent.
I was hoping that this would not be good so that I wont have to download another version of this song. But I guess I cant something bad from John Mayer the Legend. ..sigh..
