(Intro ) Mmm… I know love ain't always easy I know forever ain't always pretty But if you're willing… I'm willing too (Verse 1 ) I walked into your life with a heart full of scars You saw every broken piece and still loved who we are I ain't always easy, and neither are you But I've learned that real love means fighting through We’ve danced barefoot in the kitchen Cleaned the house and made a mess Stayed up late with coffee strong Holding each other through the stress We've taken midnight backroad drives Sang our favorite songs off-key And somehow every little moment Became a memory to me (Pre-Chorus ) We've had days when we couldn't agree Nights when you couldn't understand me But I'm not walking away from what we started I'm standing here with my whole heart guarded (Chorus ) Let's work, baby, let's work When the world gets heavy and it starts to hurt Let's talk, let's listen, let's find our way Don't throw forever away over one bad day I'll stand up for what's right Even if I'm standing alone tonight I'll fight for my heart, I'll fight for you I'll fight for the love that we're trying to get through Let's work… Let's work… If we're gonna love forever Then let's work (Verse 2 ) I'm stubborn, you're stubborn, we both want our way Sometimes pride gets louder than the words we should say I overthink everything, you shut down when you're mad Sometimes we're so good, sometimes we're so bad I've cried on that kitchen floor I've questioned everything we knew But then I remember every morning I wake up wanting you I'm wrapped up in your shirt Laying right next to you, my love Listening to your heartbeat Thanking God for what we've become (Pre-Chorus) We've slammed doors and said things wrong We've gone quiet when the nights got long But underneath the anger and the pain I still believe there's something worth saving (Chorus ) Let's work, baby, let's work When the world gets heavy and it starts to hurt Let's talk, let's listen, let's find our way Don't throw forever away over one bad day I'll stand up for what's right Even if I'm standing alone tonight I'll fight for my heart, I'll fight for you I'll fight for the love that we're trying to get through Let's work… Let's work… If we're gonna love forever Then let's work (Bridge ) I don't need perfect I don't need easy I don't need a love That never gets messy I need somebody Who's willing to stay Who's willing to listen Who's willing to change And I'll do the same I'll own my mistakes I'll swallow my pride For the promises we made But I'll never lose myself Just to keep somebody near Because loving you forever Means loving myself too, my dear Stand up… Stand up… Even when you're standing alone… I'll stand up for what's right I'll speak my truth tonight And if I have to stand alone I'll still stand strong Stand up! Stand up! Don't give up! Don't give up! Because love ain't surrender And love ain't losing me Love means two hearts choosing Who they're willing to be Let's work! Let's heal! Let's talk about the things we feel! Let's grow! Let's fight! Let's choose each other one more night! (Final Chorus ) Let's work, baby, let's work Through the good, the bad, the beautiful hurt Through every tear and every mistake Through every promise we almost break I'll stand up for what's right Even if I'm standing alone tonight I'll never pretend that everything's okay But I'll fight for us if you're willing to stay You got your flaws I've got mine too But after everything I'm still choosing you Through every high Through every low Through every place We've ever had to go Let's work… Let's work… If we're gonna call this forever Then let's work (Outro) I don't promise it'll always be easy I promise I'll always be real I'll stand beside you when I can And stand alone when I need to heal But if you reach for my hand I'll reach for yours too Because forever isn't something we say… It's something we choose Let's work, my love… Let's work.
