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 though 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 is 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 when 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, 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, convenient
