The Recipe

Who decided when the words came out?

You said I couldn't have these selfish doubts, I know

But I'm thinking it's the fact that I can

Your self destructing from the inside out

Never find a way to talk it out, I know

But I'm thinking it's the fact that I can

But you wouldn't waste away those thoughts I never had

And you wouldn't waste away

Because it's honesty and things you promise me

Always on a list and growing constantly

Then I said

I thought our love was just a recipe

Who would've thought that it'd mean everything to me

You know you're beautiful without that dress

If time is fleeting let's embrace this mess

I know

And if that's a fact you won't need it at all

But you wouldn't waste away those thoughts I never had

And you wouldn't waste away

Because it's honesty and things you promise me

Always on a list and growing constantly

Then I said

I thought our love was just a recipe

Who would've thought that it'd mean everything

And in the morning light we'll turn the wrongs to right

Rearrange the odds and we can save tonight

I thought our love was just a recipe

Who would've thought that it'd mean everything to me

I wanna know what it's like

To barely sleep through the night

And not have a care at all

And though I know it's been said I've had these doubts in my head

But none that I can recall

Because it's honesty and things you promise me

Always on a list and growing constantly

Then I said

I thought our love was just a recipe

Who would've thought that it'd mean everything

And in the morning light we'll turn the wrongs to right

Rearrange the odds and we can save tonight

I thought our love was just a recipe

Who would've thought that it'd mean everything to me
