[Verse 1]
I spent hours on the back porch
Burning fire in my hands
Try my best to learn to read you
But I still can't understand
And when you ask me how I'm doing
I say that I can't complain
After all, it's unattractive for me to burden you with shame

[Pre-Chorus]
How can I still feel this way?

[Chorus]
If I, I can't change your mind
Or be the one in time
At least, I know I tried
It hurt, but I'm alive
And I'd do it all again
My pride is paper thin
I'm not looking for a win

[Post-Chorus]
I've got a lawless love for you
And nothing better to do

[Verse 2]
I'm not asking for a favor
I just want to be let in
All I wanted was to feel wanted
I don't need another friend
And you might love me at my best, but
At my worst, you're walking out
And I don't know what I could say that
Won't set fire to this drought
[Chorus]
If I, I can't change your mind
Or be the one in time
At least, I know I tried
It hurt, but I'm alive
And I'd do it all again
My pride is paper thin
I'm not looking for a win

[Post-Chorus]
I've got a lawless love for you
And I got nothin' better to do

[Refrain]
Endlessly devoted, misunderstood, I broke it
Endlessly devoted, misunderstood, I broke it
Endlessly devoted, misunderstood, I broke it
Endlessly devoted, misunderstood, I broke it

[Chorus]
If I, I can't change your mind
Or be the one in time
At least, I know I tried
It hurt, but I'm alive
And I'd do it all again
My pride is paper thin
I'm not looking for a win
[Outro]
I've got a lawless love for you
And I got nothing better to do
