The Recipe

(album: Unplugged - 2020)

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
