Bloodsport

(album: Black And Blue - 2014)

(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 1:]
Nothing is perfect, but your imperfections are quaint
And your love is worth it and for that I will wait
And though you hate me when you have a turn
I drive you crazy, but you always return

[Pre-chorus:]
If I fall short, if I break rank
It's a bloodsport, but I understand
I am all yours, I am unmanned
I'm on all fours, willingly damned

[Chorus:]
Loving you's a bloodsport (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Fighting in a love war (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 2:]
Although you love me, sometimes we're mean
Things can get ugly, but we're still a team
We are an army, that breaks from within
But that's why we're stronger, and that's how we'll win

[Pre-chorus:]
If I fall short, if I break rank
It's a bloodsport, but I understand
I am all yours, I am unmanned
I'm on all fours, willingly damned

[Chorus:]
Loving you's a bloodsport (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Fighting in a love war (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's not what I'm in love for, I'm yours,
But I don't know if you can help it,
Maybe I'm just being selfish,
Loving you's a bloodsport (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 3:]
I've got your back, and though it's stacked against us,
I've got your hand, it's us against consensus,
And I will burn
The people who hurt you the worst and I will not learn
'Cause I am too young and too dumb to consider the terms
Of breaking the law and I'll curse the day that they return
With a smile on my face as their heads hit the floor
And they're done now
It's curtains
The bloodlust's a clusterfuck
It hurts but it's working
And even if you ask me to stop
It's too late
Because I've already decided their fate
It's not a distaste
It's pure hate
And it pulsates
And it works its way around my brain
Anyway
What I'm trying to say
Is I'll protect you 'til the day I meet my maker
So don't fight me now 'cause you might need me later

[Chorus:]
Loving you's a bloodsport (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Fighting in a love war (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's not what I'm in love for, I'm yours,
But I don't know if you can help it,
Maybe I'm just being selfish,
Loving you's a bloodsport (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
