Love Song (feat. Matt Herrero)

You try writing a love song You try speaking your mind You try using your words Instead of holding them in and lying You try saying I'm sorry You try saying I care You try saying I'm not done, but at least I'm aware You try writing a love song, love song There have been times in my life When I was so scared I couldn't move And it's not your fault that it's hard for me to feel That I'm safe now that I'm here with you Well maybe you've got some other ideas And you think that the whole world is fucked Maybe you think that it's not worth the effort Well, baby, you're out of luck You're not going anywhere You try writing a love song You try making it work You try making pleasure out of all of this hurt You try finding some sweetness You try healing your pain You try loving the parts of you that yell and complain You try writing a love song, love song You try writing a love song, love song Well I always tried my best To be what I could be for you But now the stakes are so high I don't really know what to do Well maybe you've got some other ideas And you think we should just blow it up Maybe you thought that it's not worth the effort Well, baby, you're out of luck You're not going anywhere You try writing a love song You try opening up You try showing your demons to someone you love You try calling them angels You try letting them speak You try seeing your strengths instead of feeling so weak You try writing a love song, love song You try writing a love song, love song You try writing a love song You try getting it right You try owning your shit And losing your pride You try being patient You try fucking up You try getting stronger you try growing up You try hanging in there You try working through it You try being honest Do you really wanna do this? Yeah I wanna try, I wanna try I wanna try writing a love song, love song Writing a love song, love song You try saying I love you You try saying I care You try leaning in closely and seeing what's there You try touching me softly You try losing your clothes You try kissing me sweetly I could I suppose You try writing a love song
