Lyrics

Bad Start

(Verse)
In my classroom, chalk in hand,
Guarded heart, can't understand.
Why every man comes with a line,
I've built these walls, I'll be just fine.

(Pre-Chorus)
He's on the field, strong and tough,
Dreaming big, but it's never enough.
Our worlds collided, sun high above,
Two hearts in conflict, not yet in love.

(Chorus)
Bad start, we misunderstood,
Two hearts clashing, it wasn't good.
Bad start, our story's begun,
Feelings rising, no way this is fun.
Maybe I'll give this guy a shot
We are off to a bad start, a bad start

(Verse)
He seems so cold, a stoic face,
But there's a sadness I can trace.
I see his fight, the weight he bears,
Wonder if there's more he shares.

(Pre-Chorus)
I'm tired of games, the same old song,
He's just trying to prove he belongs.
But through the noise, I start to see,
A hidden strength that calls to me.

(Chorus)
Bad start, we misunderstood,
Two hearts clashing, it wasn't good.
Bad start, our story's begun,
Feelings rising, no way this is fun.
Maybe I'll give this guy a shot
We are off to a bad start, a bad start

(Bridge)
In the calm after the storm,
I see his heart, so kind and warm.
He sees my walls, but doesn't shy,
In that moment, we catch each other's eye.

(Chorus)
Bad start, we misunderstood,
Two hearts clashing, it wasn't good.
Bad start, our story's begun,
Feelings rising, no way this is fun.
Maybe I'll give this guy a shot
We are off to a bad start, a bad start

(Chorus)
Bad start, we misunderstood,
Two hearts clashing, it wasn't good.
Bad start, our story's begun,
Feelings rising, no way this is fun.
Maybe I'll give this guy a shot
We are off to a bad start, a bad start

(Outro)
Now we're together, through thick and thin,
A football hero, my guarded grin.
Two souls who found, in the heat of the fight,
That love can bloom, even in the harshest light.
