de Russ

I don't know why we even tried this in the first place
But it all comes back to love
Yeah, it all comes back to love

I been tryna do my best in the worst way
Cause it all comes back to love
Yeah, it all comes back to love

Met back in our twenties
Ex-wife wanted money
You still wanted me back then
But now you do not love me
No affection, no respect
It's been too long since a check came my way
Not the same ever since my father's death

No excuses, yeah, I know
I been trying, I been trying
June I'm fine, kids I'm fine
I been lying, I been lying
So much pressure, I can't sleep
Everything about me aching
It's so hard to accept my kid bringing home the bacon
I'm at fault, I'm a loser, best believe I've heard it all
From the girl of my dreams that I married in the fall
And I get it, your resentment, yeah, it's justified
But I've had enough of arguing
I've had enough of crying
I know that you're mad
But you were mad when I was paid, too
I'm feeling helpless, I just hope our love saves you
It's been over twenty years, recognize our blessings
Even though that we can barely coexist
For more than twenty seconds, damn

I don't know why we even tried this in the first place
But it all comes back to love
Yeah, it all comes back to love

I been tryna do my best in the worst way
Cause it all comes back to love
Yeah, it all comes back to love

I love you Jim, the way you grin
The way you make me laugh
The way you helped me raise three angels
Wouldn't take it back
I think you're a genius
That's why I be stressing you
CEO, CEO
I expect nothing less from you

That's a compliment
I know that I should show more
Gratitude for you, I know
My attitude's been so poor
But so have we but this is deeper than a bank account
I know that I got pent up shit
I know I need to work it out
Russell takes me traveling
He just does our balancing
He knows that you're strong
Meanwhile he knows that I'm unraveling
He's not taking sides
Trust me, he says that you're right
He just tryna help us both
He don't wanna see us fight
It rained when we got married
And you know I loved the sun
I know I blamed you for things outta your control
But you're the one that I love
Damn, that I love
I'm sorry, I love you
