If love was easy, it'd be harmless
If it don't hurt you, you'd be heartless
I won't stay broken like your promise
You made it harder to be honest
Well I loved with all my heart, ever since the seventh grade
I was hopin' that one day, a cutie would be feelin' the same
But it's been too many years, and I spent too many nights
Tryna be a better person so that I could make it right
I was searchin' and seekin' and lovin' and bleedin'
In hopes of finding someone that's needin'
Someone to love 'em like I know I can
Even though I'm not a perfect man
Yeah, I know I gotta take a stand
Guess it just ain't an element in the master plan
Guess it just wasn't part of the plan, yeah
Maybe we just do not understand, yeah
This is what I been thinkin' about all day
I know you don't wanna wait, but baby, I gotta say
That maybe it's just a phase
And maybe it didn't take
And we went our separate ways
Because it was set ablaze
By a flurry of words
We never meant to be heard
And now the love is a blur
We kicked it back to the curb
I'm not perfect, but I know when I'm seein' the end
Now we're back to hopin' someone can love us again
If love was easy, it'd be harmless
If it don't hurt you, you'd be heartless
I won't stay broken like your promise
You made it harder to be honest
Yeah you, yeah you made it harder to be honest with you
Even though I was tryin' to keep that promise to you
Everyday I was forced to not let softness come through
But it's really impossible to stay flawless for you
Flawless expectations, laborious conversation
And a modest lack of patience make you wanna let somebody go
And I hope that she's safe at home
But I'm not gonna call her phone
Guess it's all just a part of the way it goes
If love was easy, it'd be harmless
If it don't hurt you, you'd be heartless
I won't stay broken like your promise
You made it harder to be honest
