Love is Hell (Sampled Track)

[Intro] [Dark piano and low strings] In the black before the morning I could hear the house breathe slow Every promise sounded hollow Every goodbye stuck like snow And the moon hung like a warning Over all the things we'd said Love came dressed in midnight And it never came to bed [Verse 1] [Soft piano and strings] They say the girl that you love She's the one that'll take you through hell But if you make it out on the other side Then you'll know her well She said she loved me I said "Thank you" She said "That doesn't help" I said "I've been to heaven" And I liked it there But I was by myself [Chorus] Oh I don't need a mansion Or a picket fence I don't need a ring Or a white dress I don't need a lifetime To learn that love is hell All I need is you And I could love you well [Verse 2] [Soft piano and strings] Now you're at the altar As I'm climbing up the stairs I can see it on your face You were wondering if I'd show up there It's hard to find a good friend And I'm lucky that I did The hardest thing in life is loving someone And letting them love the way they live [Chorus] [Soft piano and strings] Oh I don't need a mansion Or a picket fence I don't need a ring Or a white dress I don't need a lifetime To learn that love is hell All I need is you And I could love you well [Verse 3] [Soft piano and strings] The city lit up like a fever As we walked into the rain You were laughing at the thunder Like it didn't know your name I had one hand on my heart And one hand on the truth Every road I ever wandered Always led me back to you [Chorus] [Soft piano and strings] Oh I don't need a mansion Or a picket fence I don't need a ring Or a white dress I don't need a lifetime To learn that love is hell All I need is you And I could love you well [Verse 4] [Soft piano and strings] When the lights began to flicker And the silence filled the room I could hear my own confession Like a ghost inside the tomb If forever is a promise Then it's one I won't pretend I don't know how to make it perfect But I know I won't let go again [Chorus] [Soft piano and strings] Oh I don't need a mansion Or a picket fence I don't need a ring Or a white dress I don't need a lifetime To learn that love is hell All I need is you And I could love you well [Bridge] [Soft piano and strings] You said "I loved you" And I said "I know" You said "I'm sorry" I said "I'm not alone" [Final Chorus] [Soft piano and strings] Oh I don't need a mansion Or a picket fence I don't need a ring Or a white dress I don't need a lifetime To learn that love is hell All I need is you And I could love you well All I need is you And I could love you well [Outro] [Dark piano and strings fading out] Love is hell But it's where I found you Love is hell And I'd walk back through it too Oh Well! Love is HELL. *Laughter* [Fades Out]
