If you wanna be a warrior

(Verse 1 - gentle music - soft voice] If you wanna be a warrior… You better learn to bruise, Every scar you’re wearing Is a battle you didn’t lose… If you wanna be an explorer… You’re gonna lose your way, Maps don’t show the places Where your heart decides to stay… ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Oh… you think you know what love is… Till it pulls you underneath… ⸻ 🖤 [Chorus] 🎶 If you wanna be a lover… You better be ready for both… The high and the hunger… The fire and the cold… You don’t get the sweet without the sting— That’s just the way it goes… If you wanna be a lover… You better be ready for both… 🎶 ⸻ [Verse 2] If you’re chasing all the answers… You’ll end up with the truth, It ain’t always pretty But it’s always something real to hold… If you’re reaching for a feeling… That’s deeper than you planned, You might find it breaking Right inside your trembling hands… ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Oh… love don’t come in pieces… It takes everything you are… ⸻ 🖤 [Chorus] 🎶 If you wanna be a lover… You better be ready for both… The light and the shadows… The silence and the hope… You don’t get the dream without the fall— That’s just the way it goes… If you wanna be a lover… You better be ready for both… 🎶 ⸻ [Bridge – stripped down, almost spoken] You can run from the breaking… Or let it make you whole… But love don’t come gently… It comes to take control… ⸻ 🖤 [Final Chorus – bigger, aching] 🎶 If you wanna be a lover… You better be ready for both… The ache and the healing… The truth and the ghost… You don’t get the heart without the cost— That’s just the way it goes… If you wanna be a lover… You better be ready… For both… 🎶 ⸻ [Outro – soft, trailing] Yeah… You better be ready… For both…
