(Verse 1)
They say we’re not supposed to be,
Two sides of a battle that’s history.
But we never chose the lines they drew,
I only know I’m meant for you.
They say we carry their mistakes,
The weight of wars we didn’t make.
But can’t they see, we’re something new?
A love they never had the strength to pursue.
(Pre-Chorus)
What’s the point of fighting for a past we don’t believe in?
Can’t they see the future we could write if they’d just let us begin?
(Chorus)
Why does it matter, the blood in our veins?
Why should their hatred keep us in chains?
If love is the answer, then why is it wrong?
To stand together, where we belong?
If we see each other for who we are,
Why do the battles of others have to tear us apart?
(Verse 2)
Every glance feels like a fight,
Every kiss a spark in the night.
But no flame can burn as bright as this,
No war can drown what we can’t resist.
They tell me to let go, to walk away,
But how can I leave when your voice makes me stay?
I’ll fight a thousand wars, I’ll break every rule,
If loving you makes me a fool.
(Pre-Chorus)
We’re not their sins, we’re not their scars,
We’re something greater than their broken hearts.
(Chorus)
Why does it matter, the blood in our veins?
Why should their hatred keep us in chains?
If love is the answer, then why is it wrong?
To stand together, where we belong?
If we see each other for who we are,
Why do the battles of others have to tear us apart?
(Bridge)
What if they’re too blind to see
That love is stronger than their legacy?
If we let them break us, what will remain?
Just another chapter in their endless pain.
But I’d rather fight, I’d rather fall,
Than live without your love at all.
(Chorus – Reprise)
Why does it matter, the blood in our veins?
Why should their hatred keep us in chains?
If love is the answer, then why is it wrong?
To stand together, where we belong.
If we see each other for who we are,
Why do the battles of others have to tear us apart?
(Outro)
We’re not their past, we’re something new,
A love too strong to break in two.
So take my hand, and don’t let go—
We’ll find a place where their shadows won’t follow.
