Intro
I forgot I came for peace, not war...
Verse 1
I've been writing you in anger, every line a loaded gun, Counting every little error like a war that must be won. Then the silence came and asked me: "Is it fixing or a fight?" I don't wanna prove you wrong — I wanna help you get it right.
Pre-Chorus
So don't take it personal, I'm not here to burn the bridge, I've been swimming against the current, I have seen the water's edge.
Chorus
We're different, not divided, Two colors, one light. You see yours, I see mine, And both of us think we're right. But if we sit down together, Maybe no one has to lose — I came here for peace, not war, And I'm reaching out to you.
Verse 2
They say: "Yesterday I was clever, so I tried to change the world, Now I'm wise, so I change myself" — but wait, just hear my word: A child never chose its parents, but the parents always knew, If they don't hold out a hand, then who's gonna pull them through?
Pre-Chorus 2
People push away a hand 'cause they're certain they are right, I'm no judge and I'm no hangman — but if I just close my eyes, Knowing where the road is leading, and I let you walk alone, Then my silence is the hangman, and the fault is all my own.
Chorus
We're different, not divided, Two colors, one light. You see yours, I see mine, And both of us think we're right. But if we sit down together, Maybe no one has to lose — I came here for peace, not war, And I'm reaching out to you.
Bridge — quieter
Maybe one day you will ask me: "Why didn't you stop us before? Why didn't you insist?" — and we'll cry on the floor. A thousand times or only once — fate will find its way, Sometimes one small hint's enough, if someone hears what you say.
Final Chorus
"Our own", "something other" — every heart has its own truth, Better ways are never constant, but they're there for me and you. You can find them — can't rely on them, they come and fade like light... Do you know a way like that — for us, tonight?
Outro
Different, not divided... Peace, not war.
