Verse 1
We’re standing in the kitchen, quiet like a storm
Words hanging in the air, but they’re already worn
You say I never listen, I say you never bend
Somewhere in the middle, we forgot how to mend
Pre-Chorus
Every sentence turns into a line we draw
And every line just keeps us where we are
Chorus
Do you wanna be right, or do you wanna be loved?
‘Cause we’re losing both when we push and we shove
Is winning this fight really worth what it costs?
If I hold my ground, am I losing us?
We can stand here all night tearing each other apart
Or lay down our pride, let go, and restart
Tell me what matters when it comes down to us—
Do you wanna be right… or do you wanna be loved?
⸻
Verse 2
I know every trigger, you know every scar
We don’t need matches, we already spark
We speak in defenses, we don’t hear the truth
We’re both pointing fingers, but there’s three aimed back at you
Pre-Chorus
We’re so good at proving who’s to blame
But we’re forgetting why we stayed
Chorus
Do you wanna be right, or do you wanna be loved?
‘Cause we’re losing both when we push and we shove
Is winning this fight really worth what it costs?
If I hold my ground, am I losing us?
We can stand here all night tearing each other apart
Or lay down our pride, let go, and restart
Tell me what matters when it comes down to us—
Do you wanna be right… or do you wanna be loved?
⸻
Bridge (soft, stripped back)
What if we’re both wrong?
What if that’s okay?
What if love’s not perfect…
But it’s worth the stay?
We don’t need a verdict
We don’t need a win
We just need to remember
Where we’ve always been
⸻
Final Chorus (lift / emotional)
I don’t wanna be right if it means you’re gone
I’d rather be here where we both belong
We don’t have to solve every broken part
Just hold on to love when it gets this hard
We can stand here together instead of alone
Put down the armor, come back home
When everything’s breaking, when push comes to shove—
I don’t wanna be right… I just wanna be loved
