The Ones We Love

[Verse 1]

They called off the war last night

Half of the room had a lightning pouring down

No one's around

No one could speak or make a sound

Well, I'm so upset, she would cry

In a blister of pain, she'd peel off the shame and just die

'Cause I let her down

Ain't that usual now?

[Chorus]

'Cause we hurt the ones we love

Tryin' to be enough

And we don't succeed and we bleed

Through the white linen sheets

Like broken doves

All for the ones we love

Mm

[Verse 2]

There's a star in the back of your heart

She's hurtin' like hurtin' hurts when you hurt from a scar

She's all fucked up

Blue to the bone, the mending the dark

I can't make out if she's real

If she's a girl, the heart that I'd once steal

Half of me's blue

Half of me's here because of you

[Chorus]

'Cause we hurt the ones we love

Tryin' to be enough

We don't succeed and we bleed

Through the white linen sheets

Like broken doves

'Cause we hurt the ones we love

Tryin' to be enough

And we don't succeed and we bleed

Through the white linen sheets

Like broken doves

All for the ones we love

All for the ones we love

All for the ones we love

[Outro]

Well, I guess that it'll work out

Though, this northern sky seems so full of doubt

There, it's true

Love ain't a room you just walk into
