[Verse 1]
Nothing is perfect but your imperfections are quaint
And your love is worth it and for that I will wait
And though you hate me, when you have a turn
I drive you crazy but you always return
[Pre-Chorus]
If I fall short, if I break rank
It's a bloodsport, but I understand
I am all yours, I am unmanned
I'm on all fours, willingly damned
[Chorus]
Loving you's a bloodsport
Fighting in a love war
[Verse 2]
Although you love me, sometimes we're mean
Things can get ugly but we're still a team
We are an army that breaks from within
But that's why we're stronger, and that's how we'll win
[Pre-Chorus]
If I fall short, if I break rank
It's a bloodsport, but I understand
I am all yours, I am unmanned
I'm on all fours, willingly damned
[Chorus]
Loving you's a bloodsport
Fighting in a love war
It's not what I'm in love for, I'm yours
I don't know if you can help it, maybe I'm just being selfish
Loving you's a bloodsport
[Bridge]
I've got your back, and though it's stacked against us
I've got your hand, it's us against consensus
And I will burn the people who hurt you the worst and I will not learn
Cause I am too young and too dumb to consider the terms of breaking the law
And I'll curse the day that they return
With a smile on my face as their heads hit the floor
And they're done, now it's curtains, the bloodlust's a clusterfuck, it hurts but it's working
And even if you ask me to stop, it's too late because I've already decided their fate
It's not a distaste, it's pure hate and it pulsates and it works its way around my brain
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is I'll protect you til the day I meet my maker
So don't fight me now cause you might need me later
[Chorus]
Loving you's a bloodsport
Fighting in a love war
It's not what I'm in love for, I'm yours
I don't know if you can help it, maybe I'm just being selfish
Loving you's a bloodsport
