[Verse 1]
You came in with a fire
I came in with a name
Both of us were taught
to carry all this blame
But I looked at your hands
and mine were the same
A heart can choose a road
and still wear the pain
[Pre-Chorus]
If I meet you at the edge
I won't turn away
If the truth is hard to hold
let it break today
[Chorus]
Love who you want
Hate who you want
Love till the end
your end or my end
Begin at the beginning
till the race is done
Begin at the beginning
till the human race runs on
[Verse 2]
I don't need your permission
to feel what I feel
I don't need a small cage
to prove what is real
We were born in the middle
of a long hard line
Trying to make a home
out of borrowed time
[Pre-Chorus]
If I meet you at the edge
I won't turn away
If the truth is hard to hold
let it break today
[Chorus]
Love who you want
Hate who you want
Love till the end
your end or my end
Begin at the beginning
till the race is done
Begin at the beginning
till the human race runs on
[Bridge]
Say it loud, say it plain
let the shame fall down
Every soul gets a name
every name gets ground
If we fall, we fall
with our eyes still wide
If we stay, we stay
on the same long ride
[Final Chorus]
Love who you want
Hate who you want
Love till the end
your end or my end
Begin at the beginning
till the race is done
Begin at the beginning
till the human race runs on
Love who you want
Hate who you want
Love till the end
your end or my end
