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 Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me 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

War If this is a war Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me 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, brighter
