Us Against The World

Verse 1 We’ve been through hell, didn’t we baby? Said things that cut, drove each other crazy Doors slammed hard, hearts wide open Love still there even when it’s broken I ain’t proud of every tear Every time I let my fear Turn into a war between me and you When all I ever wanted was the truth Pre-Chorus (soft, soulful) But every time I almost walked away Somethin’ in my chest made me stay ’Cause even in the wreckage, even when it hurt It’s still your name my heart blurts Chorus (big, emotional) It’s us against the world, baby don’t forget We’ve survived storms we ain’t even over yet Through the fire, through the doubt Through the nights we both broke down I don’t want a love that runs When it gets hard or comes undone I want the kind that fights back through And I swear I’d fight for you If it’s me and you, we’ll make it through Let the whole world turn — I’m choosing you Verse 2 I know my past still haunts my sleep Old scars run heartbreak deep Sometimes I push when I should hold Sometimes my hurt comes out too cold But I’m working on the woman I am Trying to build us something that stands Brick by brick, tear by tear I’m learning love ain’t run by fear I see the way you try for me Even when loving me ain’t easy And that’s the kind of man I need Not perfect — just real and steady Pre-Chorus (stronger) We ain’t flawless, we ain’t clean But we got something in between A fire that just won’t die No matter how hard we try Chorus (bigger, harmonies) It’s us against the world, hear me now We bend but we don’t break somehow Through the fights and slammed doors Through the “I can’t do this anymore” I don’t want goodbye again I want forever, I want amen I want healing, I want truth I want a better me for you If it’s me and you, we’ll make it through Let the whole world turn — I’m choosing you Bridge Lay your head on my chest tonight Let’s put down pride, don’t have to fight We don’t gotta be who we were We can rewrite every word Take my hand, don’t let it slip We’ve come too far to lose our grip I don’t want halfway love no more I want locked doors and front porch I want late nights, I want peace I want growing old in Tennessee Or anywhere this life may go As long as I ain’t walking alone Final Chorus (soft → explosive) It’s us against the world, always has been Through the losses and the wins Through every crack and every scar You’re still my home, no matter how far I don’t need easy, I need true And the only future I see… is you Through the chaos, through the hurt Through whatever this life throws first If it’s me and you, we’ll make it through Baby, it’s us against the world And I still… Choose you.
