Tough

(álbum: beautiful trouble - 2021)

Came for the honey, stayed for a Queen
I was a fool to think, she wouldn't sting
Climbing that ladder, Jacob was saying
"She's got you wrapped around her finger, she ain't playing"
Push me the right way, right on my wounding
Said you forgave me but end up resenting

Oh all the shameful things we do
When we're afraid to speak our truth

Shit out of luck
Sometimes the only kind of love I got is tough
Sometimes the only kind of love I got is tough
That shit is tough

Down on my river, full on disclosure
Hail fucking Mary. Are you calling that closure?
You call that sacred? Tobacco placement
How can I trust your guides? To me, they're just strangers
You couldn't fix us, that drove you crazy
I'm just surprised you thought, it was all mine to carry

And no one can change me, only I can do that
That goes for you too, those are some big facts
I couldn't cope with what I'd done
You'd use my shame as a weapon

Shit out of luck
Sometimes the only kind of love I got is tough
Sometimes the only kind of love I got is tough
That shit is tough

When I come home now, things are just different
Coming to terms with the me I've been missing
That makes me angry, angry like you are
But here's the difference, I've learned to love my scars

And it makes me miss you. How fucked up is that?
The way you loved me, where else will I find that?
I didn't think I'd have to watch my six
With somebody I thought I could trust with it

Shit out of luck
Sometimes the only kind of love I got is tough
Sometimes the only kind of love I got is tough
And sometimes no matter what you do it's not enough
That shit is tough
