lyrics

How come love was simpler when I could barely stand?
Worrying was harder when I had to hold your hand
‘Cause my two feet hadn’t yet learned how to walk
And my own voice hadn’t yet come out to talk
But I knew love because I knew you
And I believed that everything you told me
Would come out true

‘Cause love is patient, and love is kind
Love delights in the truth and is all you need to find

But as I grew older I learned to complicate
Things you made so simple and I did some things I hate
And I became so afraid of making mistakes
‘Cause one hard fall is all that it takes
To make you question the man you thought you’d be
And I began to question the bright things you see in me

But love is patient, and love is kind
Love doesn’t keep a record of what’s behind

And I’ve heard my strength comes from your joy
Maybe that’s why I felt stronger when I was a boy
Maybe I grew up too fast, or maybe I never did
But I learned to bury and to chain
And from you I ran and hid
You know I want to finish strong
But I’m having trouble at the start
And I’ve forgotten where to dig
To unearth my beating heart

But love is patient, and love is kind
Love revives the heart and transforms the mind

And you say, son, throw your delight on me
And you’ll become the man you want to be
And my love will never fail you

And always remember
That love is kind
