why does love always feel like a battlefield?

if something threatens to strangle you, smother you, drown you
you can't just sit there and let it do its thing
if something is tugging you down towards the darkness
you can't just watch and wait as if nothing is happening

there are chains on my ankles and chains on my wrists
i can't just stay quiet and watch them get heavier
there's a rope 'round my heart that is straining with tension
i can't just give in and start walking its way

i say God is my love and now it's my decision
what will i live for? my Jesus or you?
if i'm careful and trusting and holy and wise
maybe someday i can have both
