Hating On Love

[Verse 1]
He's a farm raised tough son of God they told him
So, he sent praise up every Sunday morning
By thirteen he knew there was more there for him
But that town would've ruined him for it
His head fought his heart behind a broken smile
And the whiskey and weed helped for a little while
But by seventeen it was die or get going
So, he gave his folks a fair warning and said

[Chorus]
If God's gonna hate me for who I love
Then I guess God ain't who I thought He was
But I can't stay here quiеt as you judge me
Acting like you see it likе Jesus does
I don't need saving, I can't change it
And maybe you'll never see where I'm coming from
But it's been long enough
Tell me why we still hating on love?

[Verse 2]
She's a homegrown daughter of the bible belt
One right way of living down them rural routes
Fifteen and learning how to lie to herself
Knew no good could come from coming out
Her head fought her heart behind a God fearing smile
And the pills and cuts helped for a little while
But by eighteen it was die or raise hell
She stopped hiding the cards she was dealt
She said

[Chorus]
If God's gonna hate me for who I love
Then I guess God ain't who I thought She was
And if you're waiting on a baby
There's plenty waiting on someone
To love 'em like Jesus does
I don't need saving, I can't change it
And maybe you'll never see where I'm coming from
But it's been long enough
I'm done waiting on your love

[Bridge]
For who I am
'Cause if that ain't enough
Well then why should I give a damn?

[Outro]
If God's gonna hate us for who we love
Then I guess God ain't who we thought He was
But we can't stay here
Dying as you judge
Us, acting like you see us like Jesus does
We don't need saving, we can't change it
And maybe you'll never see we’re coming from
But enough is enough
Tell me why we still hating on love?
Yeah, 'cause God ain't hating on love
