MY HEART, MY WAR

Yeah…

Turn me up…

They don’t understand this love…

This deeper than feelings…

This survival.

I came from pain, had my heart full of violence,

Demons in my head, I was livin’ in silence.

Trust got killed, I ain’t believe in nobody,

Till you walked in calm and healed all the chaos inside me.

I was movin’ reckless, anger in my veins,

Fightin’ every night just to numb all the pain.

World tried break me, left scars on my chest,

You looked at my soul and still called me your best.

I ain’t used to love, I was trained to survive,

Keep a wall up high, never lettin’ ‘em inside.

But you held me down when my life went dark,

Put peace in my hands, put hope in my heart.

They don’t know them nights I was losin’ control,

You the only reason I ain’t lose my soul.

If they ever touch you, swear I lose my mind,

I go to war for you every lifetime.

I been damaged, I been cold, I admit it,

You saw the monster and still stayed committed.

When I fall, you the voice say “stand,”

Only person really understand.

You my heart, you my home, you my peace in the storm,

I been fightin’ my demons since the day I was born.

World against me but I still stand tall,

Long as I got you, I ain’t scared to fall.

Ride or die, yeah, that’s how we live,

Every scar I got, girl, it’s yours to forgive.

They can hate, they can talk, they can try all night—

I’ma guard your love like my last fight.

I done seen fake love turn real cold,

Friends switch sides when the story get told.

But you stayed solid when my pockets was hurt,

Loved my soul when my name hit the dirt.

Now I’m grindin’ harder, tryna build our throne,

Turn struggle nights into a happy home.

Talkin’ vows, talkin’ rings on your hand,

Tryna grow from a boy into your man.

Yeah I’m jealous, yeah I’m protective too,

‘Cause I know this world don’t deserve you.

You my safe place when my thoughts go wild,

Only one ever calmed this broken child.

I ain’t scared of death, I done stared it down,

But losin’ you? That’d break me now.

So I love you loud, I love you strong,

You the only place my soul belong.

If the lights go out and the fame all fade…

If the streets come back and the past invade…

I’ma still hold tight, never walk away…

You my forever, come what may…

You my heart, my war, my peace, my flame,

Only woman ever changed my name.

From broken soul to a man with hope,

You gave me love when I couldn’t cope.

Through the pain, through the tears we cried,

You the reason I’m still alive.

World go dark, I still see your light…

You my home for the rest of my life.

Yeah…

I ain’t perfect…

But I’m yours.

And I’ll fight the world before I lose you.
