[Chorus] Love is work, love is hurt When it kicks you to the dirt Love is search, love is birth When you put someone else first Love is messy, love is heavy When it has you stressing plenty Love’s a blessing, love’s investing And is often prone to testing I think I’m fetishizing the way you make me feel And I don’t want to do that, I want to love you for what’s real ‘cause sometimes the “I love you” gets above you And all I keep thinking is does she trust me? And do I trust her? I’m not perfect, but I’m worth it She’s not perfect, is she worth it? Damn right, so let’s go slow I’m caught up in my head again and losing control ‘Cause some dream she had where I was nowhere to be shown The anxiety is real, that’s how I know it’s for sure it’s not there if you don’t fear them walking out that door And I’m always afraid of something more And I’m always scared that she isn’t sure ‘Cause when it comes down to it I’m torn up from the floor There isn’t much left of me now but it belongs to her I’ve been hurt before too many times to ignore But she’s been hurt even more so I try to make sure I’m not following the path of those wicked men ‘Cause if I see those fuckers I’d put a gun to their head Or maybe get up close with some knives instead And slice ‘em up for every slight against her till they were dead But I digress, getting ahead of the pressure in my chest I’m a wreck whenever we fight when we should fuck instead But if I had the option I’d do it all over again ‘Cause it brought me to you and I guess that’s what makes sense [Chorus] (x2) Alright, I have a confession to make… Nine times out of ten I don’t know what I’m doing I’m making up these plays as the hike is said It’s been said I circumnavigate these feelings instead Of doing the core work to keep my demons in check And our love ain’t like most others Then again we’re not like most others ‘Cause instead of running for cover You’re the rain and I’m the thunder I’m erratic, it’s emblematic of a problem I can’t bandage I am damaged beyond salvage, always at a disadvantage You attract whatever hope that I can manage Fuck yeah, I’m the whole package if UPS dropped it in transit I’m ecstatic at the thought of you, making music out of static When the voices in my head unite to praise your magic I’ve got baggage so the passage through has been a challenge But the thing you’ve taught me best is the art of balance Love is more than weathering the storm, it’s forfeiting the norm ‘Cause when you’re both war torn the norm seems forlorn But when you’re both on board the past is nothing to mourn ‘Cause if you both never conform the world can’t steal your form Love’s more than a chore, it’s a house to maintain and explore ‘Cause when you’re both feeling worn, you finally see the change in decor it’s more than folklore, it’s a lifestyle to adore ‘Cause if you’re both feeling sore, you both had something to fall for [Chorus] (x4)
