Love Is a Mess - Citizen Way

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

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

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

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

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

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
