You should know that you don't kick if you don't have 
to
All’s fair in love and war, I know, don't get me wrong
But if you listen to your heart it may mislead you
Lord I should know, I’ve felt lost for so long

You had me go from what I though was smart and careful
To seriously slipping out of control

But I have to learn that this love will never be 
convenient
I’m gonna have to learn that this love will never be 
convenient
It’s not like a movie when we kiss; there is no music 
when we kiss
And I’m gonna have to learn that this love will never 
be convenient

I hear her whisper "all I want is to want nothing"
The room is dark and I’m pretty sure she thinks I’m 
asleep
She says “it just don't make no sense. Why can't it 
work out in my head
Why I can't be happy when there's definitely reasons I 
should be”

She says that I, for one, will not be held responsible 
for someone else, I gotta go

I’m gonna have to learn that this love will never be 
convenient
And I’m gonna have to learn that this love will never 
be convenient, convenient, convenient

Let’s talk about how it felt on my shoulders as it came 
pouring out my ears
Let’s talk about the face of our love and how it might 
look with the addition of tattooed tears
Let’s talk about the torn up skin on my fingers right 
where it meets my fingernails
Let’s talk about what you call smart and careful is 
seriously slipping out of control

I’m gonna have to learn that this love will never be 
convenient
I’m gonna have to learn that this love will never be 
convenient
It’s not like a movie when we kiss, there'll never be 
no music when we kiss
And I’m gonna have to learn that this love will never 
be convenient, convenient, convenient
