Lyrics
[verse]
It's easy to fall for the pretty parts
The good mornings, the borrowed hearts
But love isn't kind, it's a stubborn thing
It bruises deep before it starts to sing
[verse]
I've seen the fights that shake the wall
I've seen us break and rise after the fall
This isn't the story that they sell in songs
It's messier than that, and still it's strong
[chorus]
Keep your head up, love, don't lose your nerve
This kind of love is more than we deserve
It's a stubborn love, it won't let go
Even when we don't know where we'll go
[verse]
So don't you brace for some perfect end
There's no clean line, no easy mend
Just two people choosing every day
To stay when it'd be easier to walk away
[chorus]
Keep your head up, love, don't lose your nerve
This kind of love is more than we deserve
It's a stubborn love, it won't let go
Even when we don't know where we'll go
[bridge]
Some folks run when it gets too real
We stayed and learned the way to heal
It's not the fairy tale we were told
But it's ours, and it's turning gold
[chorus]
Keep your head up, love, don't lose your nerve
This kind of love is more than we deserve
It's a stubborn love, it won't let go
Even when we don't know where we'll go
[outro]
Stubborn love, still holding on
