Lyrics

[Chorus]
If I lose myself and I go missing
Make a couple hundred bad decisions
Do some shit I know won't be forgiven
Could you love me under those conditions?
[Chorus]
Could you still love me, love me?
Could you still love me, love me?
Don't give up on me, I promise that I'm listening
Just say you'll love me under all of my conditions
[Verse 1]
I'm less Superman, more Clark Kent
You want a hero, I don't know where he went
I'm just a man, I'm gonna mess up again
Just a sinner out here tryin' to repent
[PreChorus]
But sometimes you gotta put the car in reverse to move forward
Gotta make it through the night till you get to the morning
Sometimes you gotta lose it all just to know what's important
Sometimes you gotta write the verse till you get to the chorus
[Chorus]
If I lose myself and I go missing
Make a couple hundred bad decisions
Do some shit I know won't be forgiven
Could you love me under those conditions?
[Chorus]
Tell me, would you MIA the mission?
If I lost the life that we've been living
And left us cold without a pot to piss in
Could you love me under those conditions?
[Chorus]
Could you still love me, love me?
Could you still love me, love me?
Don't give up on me, I promise that I'm listening
Just say you'll love me under all of my conditions
[Verse 2]
I'm less Batman, more Bruce Wayne
Sometimes instead of choosing love, I choose pain
And it feels like it pours every time it rains
Why does everything disappear quicker than it came?
What a shame
[PreChorus]
Sometimes you gotta put the car in reverse to move forward
Gotta make it through the night till you get to the morning
Sometimes you gotta lose it all just to know what's important
Sometimes you gotta write the verse till you get to the chorus
[Chorus]
If I lose myself and I go missing
Make a couple hundred bad decisions
Do some shit I know won't be forgiven
Could you love me under those conditions?
[Chorus]
Tell me, would you MIA the mission?
If I lost the life that we've been living
And left us cold without a pot to piss in
Could you love me under those conditions?
[Chorus]
Could you still love me, love me?
Could you still love me, love me?
Don't give up on me, I promise that I'm listening
Just say you'd love me under all of my conditions
[Outro]
Don't stop looking in the mirror
Saying you are everything you thought that you could be
You're not alone
You got so much more to grow
Keep going, a love without a ceiling, that's how you know
You're everywhere you thought that you could be
You're not alone
Got a long, long way to go
[Outro]
You are love
You are love
You are loved
You are love
You are love
You are everything you thought that it could be
