[Verse 1]
You say love is easy
I been doing extra credit
Late nights, long fights
Grading papers I regret it
Tears all on the phone screen
You hang up then call back
Same war, same words
Different angle, same attack
You want fairy tales
I grew up on canceled plans
Trying to hug with broken arms
Still reaching with these hands
[Chorus]
Love ain't light work
This that heartbreak homework
You my favorite, worst pain
Got my chest doing whole squirt
We kiss then we curse, yeah
We fix then we fall worse
This that, this that
Heartbreak homework
Love ain't simple
It's scribbles in the margins
Tryna solve us
Like a problem with no answers
We leave, then we return
Same wounds, new bandage
This that, this that
Heartbreak homework
[Verse 2]
You say I don't listen
I say you don't really hear
You want flowers every Friday
I just want you really near
We both keep receipts
Pull 'em out like loaded clips
Bringing up that old trip
You still mad about those pics
You scared I'll disappear
I'm scared I'll turn cold
So I overshare my fears
Then you weaponize my soul
[Chorus]
Love ain't light work
This that heartbreak homework
You my favorite, worst pain
Got my chest doing whole squirt
We kiss then we curse, yeah
We fix then we fall worse
This that, this that
Heartbreak homework
Love ain't simple
It's scribbles in the margins
Tryna solve us
Like a problem with no answers
We leave, then we return
Same wounds, new bandage
This that, this that
Heartbreak homework
[Bridge]
Maybe we both too proud (too proud)
Talking loud over love in the background (background)
If I drop my guard, would you drop yours too?
Or just use that key to cut right through?
[Chorus]
Love ain't light work
This that heartbreak homework
You my favorite, worst pain
Got my chest doing whole squirt
We kiss then we curse, yeah
We fix then we fall worse
This that, this that
Heartbreak homework
