[Verse 1]
You leave dishes in the sink
I leave socks on every stair
We keep score on stupid things
Then pretend we don’t care
Bills stacked on the counter
Take-out on the stove
This isn’t some postcard
But it’s still our home (yeah)
[Chorus]
Marriage can suck
But I still choose you
When it’s hard to talk
We stumble through
It’s not roses and rainbows
It’s long nights and late shows
Fighting just to tell the truth
Marriage takes work
But the work feels right
’Cause I see your face in the worst of fights
And I still see that person
In an instant
I know
That this is my true love
Even when it hurts so
[Verse 2]
You say I shut down and hide
I say you cut with every word
We both raise our voices high
Just to feel like we’re heard
Then you pour two cups of coffee
Sit down on the floor
“Can we try again?” you whisper
I’m already yours
[Chorus]
Marriage can suck
But I still choose you
When it’s hard to talk
We stumble through
It’s not roses and rainbows
It’s long nights and late shows
Learning how to listen too
Marriage takes work
But the work feels right
’Cause I see your face in the worst of fights
And I still see that person
In an instant
I know
That this is my true love
Even when it hurts so
[Bridge]
We’re two flawed hearts
In the same small bed
But I know your storms
Before you’ve even said
One look across the room
And I feel that rush again
The day I first saw you
Is hiding in these everyday days (oh)
[Chorus]
Marriage can suck
But I still choose you
Every broken word
We make it new
It’s not roses and rainbows
It’s calling when the day’s slow
It’s staying when you want to go through
Marriage takes work
But the work feels right
’Cause I see your face in the hardest nights
And I still see that person
In an instant
I know
That this is my true love
Yeah
This is my true love
Even when it hurts so
