(Verse 1)
I was born in the ashes of a war,
Raised with a name that I couldn't ignore,
Taught to hate what you were born into,
But my heart broke when I laid eyes on you.
Your father's the enemy, a distant foe,
But when we met, something started to grow,
In a world where love is bound to fall,
You and I are standing through it all.
(Chorus)
I never chose this heart I wear,
But when you look at me, I swear,
The enemy’s son, my heart’s undone,
A love that’s hidden, but it weighs a ton.
I should turn away, but I’m holding on,
Love in the shadow, but I’m not gone.
(Verse 2)
We speak in whispers, eyes meet in secret,
Our love's a flame, but we dare not keep it,
The world says no, but we can’t fight fate,
Two souls collide, yet we’re born to hate.
I hear the whispers, they haunt my name,
But I can’t stop this feeling or the flame,
You're not your father's mistakes or lies,
Just a boy with a heart like mine.
(Chorus)
I never chose this heart I wear,
But when you look at me, I swear,
The enemy’s son, my heart’s undone,
A love that’s hidden, but it weighs a ton.
I should turn away, but I’m holding on,
Love in the shadow, but I’m not gone.
(Bridge)
I could turn away, I could break the chains,
But every time I do, it only brings me pain,
Your eyes, your touch, your name on my lips,
It’s a love too deep, no escape, no slip.
(Chorus)
I never chose this heart I wear,
But when you look at me, I swear,
The enemy’s son, my heart’s undone,
A love that’s hidden, but it weighs a ton.
I should turn away, but I’m holding on,
Love in the shadow, but I’m not gone.
(Outro)
In a world that never lets us be,
I’ll love you in silence, you’ll always be free,
But my heart will stay, locked in the fight,
Loving the enemy’s son through the night.
