I didn’t know what to call it So I tried to push it away I thought love was dangerous Or something I’d get wrong I made rules and conditions Just to prove I was strong I said, “Maybe it’s fake” Or “Maybe it won’t stay” But it kept finding me Anyway I overthink I close my eyes But it’s still there Every time Maybe love is simple Maybe love is kind Maybe it’s not broken Maybe it’s just mine I don’t have to earn it I don’t have to fight It was always here It was always light Love isn’t just romance Or a perfect design It’s the songs that we write And the way we pass time It’s the stories we tell And the hands that we hold It’s the reason we’re here If I’m being honest Every note Every word Every dream Ever heard Maybe love is simple Maybe love is true Maybe all this living Is just learning how to choose To open up slowly To let myself see That love isn’t missing It’s breathing in me If the world went quiet And the lights came on I’d sing this softly Just to carry on Not to be perfect Not to be right Just to say “I’m here And I care And that’s enough tonight” Love makes the music Love makes the sound Love is the reason We’re still around If I live without it That’s not a life for me So I’ll choose love In every key It doesn’t have to hurt It doesn’t have to hide Love doesn’t disappear When you stop running this time
