Lyrics
When, when we came home
Returning home
Worn to the bones
Fatigued or exhausted
I told myself, "this could get rough"
Anticipating challenges ahead
And when, when I was off, which happened a lot
Absence from each other, frequent occurrence
You came to me and said, "that's enough"
Partner expressing dissatisfaction
Oh I know that this love is pain
Acknowledging that love can be painful
But we can't cut it from out these veins, no
Love is ingrained, inseparable
So I'll hit the lights and you lock the doors
Seeking privacy and intimacy
We ain't leaving this room 'til we bust the mold
Commitment to overcoming challenges together
Don't walk away, don't roll your eyes
Pleading not to dismiss the relationship
They say love is pain, well darling, let's hurt tonight
Embracing the idea that love involves pain
When, when you came home
Partner's return home, repetition for emphasis
Worn to the bones
Emphasizing extreme fatigue
I told myself, "this could be rough"
Acknowledging potential difficulties
Oh, I know you're feeling insane
Recognizing emotional turmoil
Tell me something that I can explain, oh
Seeking understanding
I'll hit the lights and you lock the doors
Repeating the desire for privacy and honesty
Tell me all of the things that you couldn't before
Encouraging open communication
Don't walk away, don't roll your eyes
Reiterating the importance of staying
They say love is pain, well darling, let's hurt tonight
Embracing the concept that love involves pain
If this love is pain, well darling, let's hurt, oh tonight
Affirming a willingness to endure pain for love
So you hit the lights and I'll lock the doors
Exchanging roles, mutual agreement to be vulnerable
Let's say all of the things that we couldn't before
Encouraging honest expression of feelings
Won't walk away, won't roll my eyes
Commitment not to walk away or be dismissive
They say love is pain, well darling, let's hurt tonight
Repeating the acceptance of love's painful nature
If this love is pain, then honey let's love tonight
Reaffirming the readiness to love despite the pain
