This Is a War
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
