Love (Ain't Always So Good)

(album: The Death Of You & I - 2017)

Down in the basement locked in my head
Are all of the words that I wish you had said
You're so impatient asleep on my bed
Dreaming we'd left it and made love instead
But there's still some problems that I need to cure
So turn on the light babe let's find where it hurts
Cause I love to love you but I'm still unsure
And each time we fight babe we're only making it worse

Cause you know that I know that you know
That I gave you more than I should
I guess that means love
Ain't always so good

The floorboards are creaking the suns going down
You're watching me speaking but won't make a sound
I'm fighting this feeling that we're falling through
The less that you offer the more that I lose
So just throw me a bone babe and shoulder my pain
Why do we suffer to hide from our shame
When it's not like we'll live like this ever again
So come on now darling and try to just treat me the same

Cause I know that you know that I know
That I gave you more than I should
I guess that means love
Ain't always so good
