Labor Of Love

Love is a burden on your heart
But one that you so gladly bear
It knits you up as it takes you apart
And love can knock you to the ground
Or leave you hanging in midair
But either way you stick around

A far from perfect story
Don’t take an inventory
When disappointments come your way

You carry on but your patience is fading
Try to be calm but you’re tired of waiting

Labor of love
Never enough
It’s a labor of love

Love is a blind spot in your eye
You might not see it but some time
The ones you love will let you down

Nobody’s perfect are they
We’ll all be saying sorry
When pain and sorrow come your way

You carry on but your heart is hurting
A labor of love for a beast of burden

Labor of love
Never enough
It’s a labor of love

You carry on but your hands are shaking
Labor of love for a heart that’s breaking
