R I T U A L – Wouldn't Be Love (Acoustic) lyrics

[Verse 1: Gerard O'Connell]
Take another dip, venom on my lips
You know how it takes its toll
Take another trip, hands up on your hips
Here comes another tale of woe

[Pre-Chorus: Gerard O'Connell]
And we should be together
You could be the madness I like
I ain't any better
Without your medicine up in my mind

[Chorus: Gerard O'Connell]
It wouldn't be love if it didn't hurt nobody
Love, if it didn't cut so deep
Love, if it didn't leave you lonely
Love, it wouldn't be

It wouldn't be love if it didn't hurt nobody
Love, if it didn't cut so deep
Love, if it didn't leave you lonely
Love, it wouldn't be

[Post-Chorus: Gerard O'Connell]
It wouldn't be love
It wouldn't be love

[Verse 2: Gerard O'Connell, Gerard O'Connell & Katie Taylor]
It's not a serenade, it's you hearing my mistakes
Baby, that's the way we are
This line of love and hate, let's walk until we break
Maybe that's the sweetest part?

[Pre-Chorus: Gerard O'Connell, Gerard O'Connell & Katie Taylor]
And we should be together
You could be the madness I like
I ain't any better
Without your medicine up in my mind

[Chorus: Gerard O'Connell & Katie Taylor]
It wouldn't be love if it didn't hurt nobody
Love, if it didn't cut so deep
Love, if it didn't leave you lonely
Love, it wouldn't be

It wouldn't be love if it didn't hurt nobody
Love, if it didn't cut so deep
Love, if it didn't leave you lonely
Love, it wouldn't be

[Post-Chorus: Gerard O'Connell & Katie Taylor]
It wouldn't be love
It wouldn't be love

[Bridge: Gerard O'Connell & Katie Taylor, Katie Taylor]
Is this what they mean when
Well I guess I never knew
The strongest feeling
Can be the weakest part of you
Who do we blame when
Perfection makes mistakes?
It's a given

[Chorus: Gerard O'Connell & Katie Taylor]
'Cause it wouldn't be love if it didn't hurt nobody
Love, if it didn't cut so deep
Love, if it didn't leave you lonely
Love, it wouldn't be

It wouldn't be love if it didn't hurt nobody
Love, if it didn't cut so deep
Love, if it didn't leave you lonely
Love, it wouldn't be

[Outro: Gerard O'Connell, Katie Taylor, Both]
It wouldn't be love
No, it wouldn't be love
'Cause it wouldn't be love if it didn't hurt nobody
Love, if it didn't cut so deep
Love, if it didn't leave you lonely
Love
