[Verse 1] I learned a lesson in love I never knew before You can say you love her, mean it from your core But when you're away from her, it's just words Years can go by before you see the hurt Life twists and turns, gets caught up in the shit You think things are working, think you're getting through it Time gets tough and you leave her alone With all the things that scare her when you're gone [Chorus] Fucking try and try, you'll see why Love is not a permanent thing You gotta be there, you gotta share Whatever the hard times bring Love can die in the blink of an eye In the end it don't matter why One is hurt, the other moves on Going forward like nothing's wrong [Verse 2] Once again love plays its sad song You held on tight but you held on wrong Dropped like a bomb, nowhere safe to land A bottle in your hand and a shaking hand Love is a statement, actions show you're worth it Nothing left to do when you know that you hurt her Don't keep calling, don't make it worse Sometimes letting go is the last thing that works [Chorus] Fucking try and try, you'll see why Love is not a permanent thing You gotta be there, you gotta share Whatever the hard times bring Love can die in the blink of an eye In the end it don't matter why One is hurt, the other moves on Going forward like nothing's wrong [Verse 3] I thought it was forever, something solid, something better Then here comes my bullshit, pulling everything apart Can't fix what's broken if you don't know you caused it Fucking stalled out, cocaine's run out Fucking just stayed out Don't ever call her again, you'll make it worse You may be the problem, that's the hardest truth to learn You lost your best friend, now you gotta let her go It hurts you both more when you can't let her go [Bridge] Love is a fickle thing, oh yeah Tripping on how cold she became You did it, and you can't change it This is the end, don't play that game Don't keep scarring her, a good woman don't need that shit You've hurt her enough, now you gotta quit [Final Chorus] Love
