The Recipe

Who decided when the words came out?
You said I couldn't have these selfish doubts
I know
But I'm thinking it's the fact that I can

You're self-destructing from the inside out
You never find a way to talk it out
I know
But I'm thinking it's the fact that I can

But you wouldn't waste away those thoughts I never had
And you wouldn't waste away

Because it's honesty and things you promise me
Always on a list and growing constantly
Then I said
I thought our love was just a recipe
Who would've thought that it'd mean everything to me?

You know you're beautiful without that dress
If time is fleeting, let's embrace this mess
I know
And if that's a fact, you won't need it at all, oh

But you wouldn't waste away those thoughts I never had
And you wouldn't waste away

Because it's honesty and things you promise me
Always on a list and growing constantly
Then I said
I thought our love was just a recipe
Who would've thought that it'd mean everything?

And in the morning light, we'll turn the wrongs to right
Rearrange the odds, and we can save tonight
Oh, I thought our love was just a recipe
Who would've thought that it'd mean everything to me?

I wanna know what it's like
To barely sleep through the night
And not have a care at all
And though I know it's been said
I've had these doubts in my head
But none that I can recall

I wanna know what it's like
To barely sleep through the night
And not have a care at all
And though I know it's been said
I've had these doubts in my head
But none that I can recall

Because it's honesty and things you promise me
Always on a list and growing constantly
Then I said
I thought our love was just a recipe
Who would've thought that it'd mean everything?

And in the morning light, we'll turn the wrongs to right
Rearrange the odds, and we can save tonight
Oh, I thought our love was just a recipe
Who would've thought that it'd mean everything to me?
