verse 1
If it were up to me there'd be an easier road than calvary
If it were up to me you would have escaped the suffering
But you saved me through what i would have seen as a tragedy
I used to think that love should never have to bleed
I used to think that life was all about the dream
But love is a mess
And life is a death
And you can't escape the cost
Yea love is a mess
The story of the cross (oh's)
Verse 2
If it were up to me life would look more like the movies
If it were up to me i would choose a storybook ending
But i would never see the beauty of reality
I used to think that love should never have to bleed
I used to think that life was all about the dream
But love is a mess
And life is a death
And you can't escape the cost
Yea love is a mess
The story of the cross (oh's)
Bridge
God became a man heaven kissed the earth
The proof is in his hands that love is worth the hurt
You came down to meet my need
And saw beauty in the mess of me
I used to think that love should never have to bleed
I used to think that life was all about the dream
But love is a mess
And life is a death
And you can't escape the cost
Yea love is a mess
The story of the cross (oh's)
Outro
Can you believe the pain you see is more than just a tragedy
Life is a death and love is a mess just embrace the cross
the beauty of the cross
