[Hook:Hyde & KAT]
This is a love story, a love story
I know, I know, you heard it all before
There's nothin' new anymore
But you never heard it this way
Heartbreak never ends the same
It's a different game
And I know this is our story
And I know you'll be here for me
So just listen to the love story, the love story
Just listen to the love story
[Verse 1:Hyde]
Set the scene with a love that was never meant to be
A pent up dream
A perfect ten and a fed up teen
Not a recipe that often ends in chemistry
And yet he dreamt about it endlessly
Hopin' for a new destiny
When she noticed him in math cla**
Pa**ed that note askin' him if he had plans
He was straight floatin' through the last half
Couldn't wait to go and let her know he'd be her last man
First date turned to two, turned to nights together
Watchin' movies on the coach and plannin' life together
Talkin' city lights, pretty sights, and all the fights they'd weather
Never been in love before, now he's sure he'll be this right forever
Like he'll repeat this night forever
Seasons come, seasons go
But he was done bein' alone
So many memories ahead along their road
He couldn't wait to go
[Hook:Hyde & KAT]
This is a love story, a love story

There's nothin' new anymore
But you never heard it this way

It's a different game
And I know this is our story
And I know you'll be here for me
So just listen to the love story, the love story
Just listen to the love story
[Bridge]
Can't you see the all the love in their eyes?
Nothing's gonna bring them down
Don't you know that love always survives?
Nothing's gonna bring them down
[Verse 2:Hyde]
“Except maybe a baby?”
“You crazy baby, ain't nothin' comin' between us, but lately
Well, you been gettin' on my nerves
And I'm not so sure that this is gonna work.”
“But I meant it . .
I'm pregnant.”
Now it's real — he has to answer the question
And his Auntie's pressurin' him
To not let it end in sin
Marryin' is the only Christian option
And he can't give in, so he gives up
Just another father on the run, what else is new?
Just another ba*tard of a son, but what's he supposed to do?
He didn't sign up to say goodbye to his dreams
He wants to try to be the guy that she needs
But the guy he wants to be and the guy that he is
Just a contradiction and a lie that he can't kick
[Bridge]
Can't you see all the love in their eyes?
It died!
Don't you know that love always survives?
You lied!
[Hook:Hyde & KAT]
This is a love story, a love story

And I know you'll be here for me
So just listen to the love story, the love story
Just listen to the love story
[Verse 3:Hyde]
Heart racin' even faster than when he asked her out
He couldn't count the times he'd driven past her house
A couple thousand at least, with doubts crowdin' his peace
Two years without a peep, how could he ask her now?
Finger hoverin' over the doorbell
Trying to imagine his baby boy, her waitin' joy, or this goin' well
Frozen in a spell, holdin' in a swell
Of nerves, his words chosen felt
Cheap: Just a stolen shell
He rehearsed ‘em again anyway
“I'm sorry, I know it won't fix anything
I made a lot of mistakes, left plenty stings
But please, I'm beggin', see
I realized you were a blessing in my life
I need to make this right
I need to make this right
It might take me my whole life
But I can't leave without a fight
That there's my seed, and you should be my wife
I just pray you can forgive me for my vice.”
