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 have felt lost for so long You had me go from what I thought was smart and careful To 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, ah, 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 that this love will never be convenient And I'm gonna have to learn that this love will never be convenient Convenient, ah, convenient Let's talk about how it fell 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 how what you call "smart and carefully" 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, ah, convenient
