A Labor of Love

I made a home in my heart for us
Cleared off the shelves gathering dust
I made a place to take you in
Though i know you don’t mind
The rain or the wind
I filled in the cracks and fixed up the wounds
I made a warm little spot for you
I made a place for your troubles and pain
I had everything to lose, everything to gain
For you, i even made a bed
Gave you somewhere to rest your weary head
I made some space, i made sure you could fit
I dug a hole where the blood runs thick
I dug a hole in my heart for us
They were lying when they said
«all you need is love»
I dug a hole in my heart for us
But it wasn’t enough
I dug a hole in my heart for us
Oh, it was a labor, a labor of love
I would give you everything you could need
If you’d only stay with me
I would give you everything i could give
A heart, a home, a place to live
But my heart’s such a mess
And i can’t really blame you
Hold, control, embrace, displace, or contain you
I made a home in my heart for us
I must be crazy, it was far too dangerous
I dug a hole in my heart for you
You just kept digging
You pushed right on through
I dug a hole in my heart for us
Oh, it was a labor, a labor of love
