[Intro – low saxophone, warm bass, distant Rhodes] [Verse 1] We don’t always come in soft Some nights we come in weather You raise your voice, I lock my jaw Then we find each other after I don’t love the easy hours only I love the rooms we almost leave [Pre-Chorus] If the edges cut a little I still reach across the cut This isn’t pretty It’s us [Chorus] I love you even when it’s rough When the words come out like stones When we miss and bruise and circle Then come home with open hands Not only in the sweetness Not only when we’re kind I love you Even when it’s rough [Verse 2] We’ve said things we can’t unsay Then sat in the quiet after You slammed a door I should have held I went cold when you needed warmer Still I wake up choosing you Not the dream — the living thing [Pre-Chorus] If the night gets sharp I don’t put my love away This isn’t fragile It stays [Chorus] I love you even when it’s rough When the heat turns into weather When we fight like we might lose it Then remember why we stay Not a fairytale that never scrapes A real love with blood in it I love you Even when it’s rough [Bridge – saxophone low and close] I don’t need us polished I need us true If we break a little I’ll still reach for you [Final Chorus] I love you even when it’s rough When the morning has to mend us When we come back bruised and honest And still mean every word Come fierce, come sorry, come human Don’t make it pretty I love you Even when it’s rough [Outro – saxophone fade] Even when it’s rough… I love you.
