For The Love

[Verse 1]
I used to pray to a glossy page
A cut out from a magazine
I was afraid of real things
And I couldn’t get to sleep to dream
My mom came out and I was mean
I said, “what a slap in the face.”
Then she got sick and lost her hair
And then her partner died of the same thing

[Pre-Chorus]
My mom survived, but we lost joan
The day before New York legalized love
And The streets were full of young and old
And shiny new rings exchanged in gold

[Chorus]
For the love
For the love
For the love
For the love

[Verse 2]
I kissed a girl and felt no shame
With Katy on the radio
I told my mom that we were the same
She said we’ve got a ways to go

[Pre-Chorus]
And I’ve known love that’s wider than
The place in middle where it’s painted red
And I believe that fear is weaker than love
Just like the magazine read

[Chorus]
For the love
For the love
For the love
For the love

[Bridge]
This life is imperfect
And love is a mess
I want the right to fuck it up
Just like anybody else
Just like everybody else

For the love

[Chorus]
For the love
For the love
For the love
For the love
