[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Love is twisted, it has its rules
And I'd be over it like you

[Chorus]
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
