If Love Was Fair - Ashley Monroe

I wouldn’t be half lit drunk, digging 'round for danger

Or writing my number on a coaster, sliding it to a stranger

Walking crooked, justifying all my bad behavior

Tangled up in someone’s arms I know I won’t see later

I wouldn’t be getting good at getting good at staying gone

Or sitting high and mighty on my broken throne

I wouldn’t be cursing God for leaving me here all alone

I wouldn’t be stuck between a rock and being stoned

If love was fair, I’d be golden

'Cause you’d be there

I know it’s patient, I know it’s kind

But it wouldn’t change its mind out of thin air

If love was fair

I wouldn’t be replaying what it was and what it wasn’t

Or thinking I could change it, if I only saw it coming

It wouldn’t take everything I have to rise above it

There’d be some kind of peace

Yeah, there’d be some kind of justice

If love was fair, I’d be golden

'Cause you’d be there

I know it’s patient, I know it’s kind

But it wouldn’t change its mind out of thin air

If love was fair

Love is twisted, it has its rules

And I’d be over it like you

If love was fair, I’d be golden

'Cause you’d be there

I know it’s patient, I know it’s kind

But it wouldn’t change its mind out of thin air

If love was fair

But love ain’t fair
