Tattooed Tears

You should know
That you don't kick if you don't have to
All's fair in love and war
I know, don't get me wrong
But if you listen to your heart
It may mislead you
Lord, I should know
I've felt lost for so long
You had me go
From what I thought was smart and careful
To seriously slipping out of control
But I have to learn
That this love will never be convenient
I'm gonna have to learn
That this love will never be convenient
It's not like a movie when we kiss
There will never be no music when we kiss
And I'm gonna have to learn
That this love will never be convenient
I hear her whisper
"All I want is to want nothing"
The room is dark
And I'm pretty sure she thinks I'm asleep
She says, "It just don't make no sense
Why can't it work out in my head?
Why I can't be happy?
There's definitely reasons I should be"
She says that I, for one
Will not be held responsible for someone else
I gotta go
I'm gonna have to learn
This love will never be convenient
And I'm gonna have to learn
That this love will never be convenient
Let's talk about how it felt on my shoulders
As it came pouring out my ears
Let's talk about the face of our love
And how it might look with the addition of tattooed tears
Let's talk about the torn up skin on my fingers
Right where it meets my fingernails
Let's talk about what you call smart and careful
Is seriously slipping out of control
I'm gonna have to learn
That this love will never be convenient
I'm gonna have to learn
That this love will never be convenient
It's not like a movie when we kiss
There'll never be no music when we kiss
And I'm gonna have to learn
That this love will never be convenient
Convenient, oh, convenient
