Kitchen sink is dripping
And I'm sitting wishing I could alter fate
Thinking about how, someday
My kids will only know my dog by name
Such a morbid thought, but I knew it from the start
Someday there'd be a cross where she plays in the yard
Ain't it so cruel how God gives you things to hold
To take 'em all away?

Love ain't for the faint of heart
Be careful, it'll leave its mark
Yeah, love ain't for the faint of heart

Every time that I leave Texas
Papa's got another hair gone gray
And the way that he makes Mama smile
It leaves another line upon her face
They've given me the world, or at least they've always tried
But the cost is someday saying goodbye

Love ain't for the faint of heart
Be careful, it'll leave its mark
There's no laughing without crying
No living without dying
But the light's always worth the dark
Love ain't for the faint of heart
MM

I knew it from the day we met
You were gonna drag me right through hell
Not because you're not amazing
Just because I know it all too well

Love ain't for the faint of heart
Be careful, it'll leave its mark
There's no laughing without crying
No living without dying
But the light's always worth the dark
Love ain't for the faint
No love ain't for the faint of heart
