We must change for love

Love will not change for us,
we must change for love.

The shyful stares
and warbling words
hide deep desires
behind bashful bars.

Love will not change for us,
we must change for love.

Brazen in the backseat,
their hearts are hammering;
they explore each other,
traversing new territory.

Love will not change for us,
we must change for love.

Forming a family
begins with a band,
proceeds with a party,
and concludes in compromise.

Love will not change for us,
we must change for love.

Bruised black and blue,
but their love is true – right?
an aching heart asks,
“Where did we go wrong?”

Love will not change for us,
we must change for love.

A ring removed,
alone again;
they steel themself to search
for a life after love.

Love will not change for us,
we must change for love.
