The Dayveil - Proxy War Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sweet poison dripping from your pen
Writing headlines 'bout where I've been
Lebanese queen with a vendetta
Thought you knew me better
Playing chess with my reputation
While I'm dodging your accusations
Baby, we both know the game
Nothing's ever gonna be the same

[Pre-Chorus]
You took our secrets to the press
Made our love a battleground, yes
Cultural codes that we both know
Now you're using them to steal the show

[Chorus]
We're fighting someone else's war
What the hell are we doing this for?
Your words cut deeper than before
We're fighting someone else's war
(Someone else's war)

[Verse 2]
Remember nights in Beirut's heat
Now your stories make me incomplete
Switched up on me, changed the narrative
Got me looking like the terrorist
Baby girl, you're so strategic
Making our love seem pathetic
Should've known you had an angle
When you let our hearts get tangled

[Bridge]
You weaponized our heritage
Turned our love into a hostage
Media spinning what we had
Making good times look so bad
F*ck the headlines, f*ck the fame
Baby, we ain't playing games
But here we are, can't escape
This love turned into hate

[Chorus]
We're fighting someone else's war
What the hell are we doing this for?
Your words cut deeper than before
We're fighting someone else's war
(Someone else's war)

[Outro]
Now every whisper's amplified
Every memory's been modified
Baby, we lost ourselves between
The headlines and what could've been
We're just soldiers in this game
Fighting for someone else's fame
Lebanese love turned to pain
Nothing's ever gonna be the same
