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 a 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
That I 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 word, 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 a fame
Together, we burned brighter, brighter, brighter, brighter
