(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 d**h 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 sponsored links 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 d**h 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 d**h 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 d**h and love is a mess The story of the cross The beauty of the cross
