Lyrics If Love Was Fair - Ashley Monroe

If Love Was Fair

I wouldn’t be half lit drunk, digging 'round for danger
Or writing my number on a coaster, sliding it to a stranger
Walking crooked, justifying all my bad behavior
Tangled up in someone’s arms I know I won’t see later
I wouldn’t be getting good at getting good at staying gone
Or sitting high and mighty on my broken throne
I wouldn’t be cursing God for leaving me here all alone
I wouldn’t be stuck between a rock and being stoned
If love was fair, I’d be golden
'Cause you’d be there
I know it’s patient, I know it’s kind
But it wouldn’t change its mind out of thin air
If love was fair
I wouldn’t be replaying what it was and what it wasn’t
Or thinking I could change it, if I only saw it coming
It wouldn’t take everything I have to rise above it
There’d be some kind of peace
Yeah, there’d be some kind of justice
If love was fair, I’d be golden
'Cause you’d be there
I know it’s patient, I know it’s kind
But it wouldn’t change its mind out of thin air
If love was fair
Love is twisted, it has its rules
And I’d be over it like you
If love was fair, I’d be golden
'Cause you’d be there
I know it’s patient, I know it’s kind
But it wouldn’t change its mind out of thin air
If love was fair
But love ain’t fair
