Tough Love

You woke up on the wrong side of the bed
Was it last night
Don't leave it unsaid
Give me something
I can't hear you because you're not talking
Hold up
I'm on your side
All of the times that we feel like just walking away
But love wasn't meant to be easy and that's why we stay
Give me your tough love
'Cause that's what it takes
This ain't bout luck love
It's something you make
Don't want to romanticize it
Ten years on and we're still trying
It's beautiful
But I know that real love istough
Tough tough love
It's beautiful but
Tough tough love
I know that you, you fall asleep at the movies
Steal the sheets instead of spooning
But I put everything on the table
'Cause love isn't just some fairytale
To me
It's what we're building
All of the times that we feel like just walking away
But love wasn't meant to be easy and that's why we stay
Give me your tough love
'Cause that's what it takes
This ain't bout luck love
It's something you make
Don't want to romanticize it
Ten years on and we're still trying
It's beautiful
But I know that real love is tough
Tough tough love
It's beautiful but
Tough tough love
I know that real love is
All of the times that we feel like just walking away
It ain't always easy butwe got a reason to stay
Give me your tough love
'Cause that's what it takes
This ain't bout luck love
It's something you make
Don't want to romanticize it
Ten years on and we're still trying
It's beautiful
But I know that real love is tough
Tough tough love
It's beautiful
Tough tough love
I know that your love is
Tough tough love
It's beautiful but
I know that real love is tough
