Love Is A Mess

(Verse)
If it were up to me
There'd be an easier road than cavalry
If it were up to me You would've escaped the suffering
But You saved me
Through what it would've seem like a tragedy

(Chorus)
I used to think that love should never have to bleed
I used to think that life holds on about the dream
But love is a mess and life is a death and you can't escape the cost
Yea love is a mess, the story of the cross

(Verse)
If it were up to me
Love would be more like the movies
If it were up to me
I would choose a story book ending
But I would never see
The beauty of reality

(Chorus)
I used to think that love should never have to bleed
I used to think that life holds on about the dream
But love is a mess and life is a death and you can't escape the cost
Yea love is a mess, the story of the cross
The story of the cross

(Bridge)
If God became a man
Heaven would kiss the earth
The proof is in His hands
The love is worth the hurt
You came down to meet my needs
And saw beauty in the mess of me

(Chorus)
I used to think that love should never have to bleed
I used to think that life holds on about the dream
But love is a mess and life is a death and you can't escape the cost
Yea love is a mess, the story of the cross
The beauty of the cross

(Verse)
Can you believe the pain is cheap?
It's more than just a tragedy
Or lust is a death and love is a mess
The story of the cross
The beauty of the cross
