This Is a War

You weren't holy
That face
Written in the bad books
Trouble all the way
Just like a fighter

Me, same story
Same page
I was a ladder searching for fame
Together we burned brighter

Looking for a battle
Ready for the pain
Knew it was a challenge
Everything's a game
Seemed easy
Seemed so easy

If I gotta fight
For the right
To be loved and to love
Then this is a war

If we can't be free
You and me
To be loved and to love
Then what is this for
If this is a war

You wasn't perfect
Dad thought it was cool
You were my bad boy straight out of the hood
Yeah it was all good

You, a little tragic
Me, a little bold
Dangerous, ecstatic
We couldn't be told
Together we weren't alone

Looking for a battle
Ready for the pain
Knew it was a challenge
Everything's a game
Seemed easy
Seemed so easy

If I gotta fight
For the right
To be loved and to love
Then this is a war

If we can't be free
You and me
To be loved and to love
Then what is this for
If this is a war

Will the words ever make a change
We've come too far to turn back now
Stronger together, we are one
One world a million miles away
Two hearts, one life
One you and I

If I gotta fight
For the right
To be loved and to love
Then this is a war

If we can't be free
You and me
To be loved and to love
Then what is this for
If this is a war

You weren't holy
That face
Written in the bad books
Trouble all the way
Just like a fighter

Me, same story
Same page
I was a ladder searching for fame
Together we burned brighter
Brighter
Brighter
