I LEARN SLOW BUT I LOVE HARD

I wasn’t raised to give up easy

Wasn’t built for half way hearts

When I fall I fall completely

Even when it tears me apart

I hold on longer than I should

I fight for things most people quit

Sometimes loyalty’s a blessing

Sometimes it’s the bullet you get

I learn slow but I love hard

I give more than most can take

I keep trying to fix what’s breaking

Cause I don’t know how to walk away

My heart ain’t quick but it’s honest

It bruises deep but it guards

It takes time to trust somebody

Cause I learn slow but I love hard

I’ve been lied to with straight faces

Left behind without goodbye

I’ve been patient with the wrong ones

While the right ones passed me by

I’ve carried blame that wasn’t mine

Gave chances they didn’t earn

I’ve set myself on fire

Just to keep someone warm

I learn slow but I love hard

I give more than most can take

I keep trying to fix what’s breaking

Cause I don’t know how to walk away

My heart ain’t quick but it’s honest

It bruises deep but it guards

It takes time to trust somebody

Cause I learn slow but I love hard

Maybe I stay cause I see the good

Maybe I stay cause I wish you would

Learn me the way I learn you

Slow but true

Maybe love wasn’t meant to rush

Maybe the scars make room for us

Maybe the hardest lessons taught

Are the ones love brought

I learn slow but I love hard

I give more than most can take

And if it’s real we’ll fix what’s breaking

We don’t have to throw it all away

My heart ain’t quick but it’s honest

It bruises deep but it guards

It may take time to let you in

But once you’re there you’re in my heart

I learn slow but I love hard
