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
