If Love Was Fair

[Verse 1]

I wouldn't be half lit drunk, digging 'round for danger

Or writing my number on a coaster, sliding it to a stranger

Walking crooked, justifying all my bad behavior

Tangled up in someone's arms I know I won't see later

I wouldn't be getting good at getting good at staying gone

Or sitting high and mighty on my broken throne

I wouldn't be cursing God for leaving me here all alone

I wouldn't be stuck between a rock and being stoned

[Chorus]

If love was fair, I'd be golden

'Cause you'd be there

I know it's patient, I know it's kind

But it wouldn't change its mind out of thin air

If love was fair

[Verse 2]

I wouldn't be replaying what it was and what it wasn't

Or thinking I could change it, if I only saw it coming

It wouldn't take everything I have to rise above it

There'd be some kind of peace

Yeah, there'd be some kind of justice

[Chorus]

If love was fair, I'd be golden

'Cause you'd be there

I know it's patient, I know it's kind

But it wouldn't change its mind out of thin air

If love was fair

[Bridge]

Love is twisted, it has its rules

And I'd be over it like you

[Chorus]

If love was fair, I'd be golden

'Cause you'd be there

I know it's patient, I know it's kind

But it wouldn't change its mind out of thin air

If love was fair

But love ain't fair
