lyrics

V1:
A heart once held, unquestioning smile
Once closer than family, now further than miles
A tough life lesson, betrayed by your tears
But love doesn’t make you the thing that you fear
Nothing has changed, I’m still the same
But everything’s different when faith is at play
A tough love lesson of choosing a side
Turns friends into strangers
And who drew the lines?

Chorus:
If something is good
It won’t make you choose
Don’t deny who you love
to save broken rules
If something is good
It won’t make you leave
We get enough of loss living
to loose who we need
If something is good

V2:
What calls itself love
What claims the divine
Can’t punish with silence or seek to divide
Cause love is patient, unfailing and kind
It never abandons or leaves one behind
I don’t want a standoff, I don’t want a fight
Don’t stay in your corner while I’m trapped in mine
Step by step, can you meet me half way?
Lord knows we’re both losing by walking away

Bridge:
Oh it may take a little time
For us to see the other side
What we’ve been going through
If we say love will find a way
Let’s let it win and start today
It’s what we’ve gotta do
