You Should Know (That’s What I Long For)

Lyrics

Chorus
She said, “You don't want this heart, boy, it's already broke”
Said she’s tried to love before, but she just lost hope
Only stay a couple nights, then she’ll move along
I said, “You should know, that's what I long for all along”

Post-Chorus
That kind of love, that kind of love
Even when it hurts, stays through the storm
That kind of love, that kind of love
That’s what I long for, all along

Verse 1
Nah, you ain't gotta hide those fears you keep inside
I’ve felt them too, I’ve felt them too
We both got some pain we never learned to fight
But there’s a truth deeper than the bruise

Pre-Chorus
And if you're in a hurry
No, I won’t pretend it’s fine
But there’s grace for the weary
Even here, beneath this kiss, could start new life

Chorus
She said, “You don’t want this heart, boy, it’s already broke”
Said, “Everything I touch just goes up in smoke”
Only stay a couple nights, then she’ll be gone
I said, “Baby, don’t you know, that's what I long for all along?”

Bridge
You see this ache, it ain’t new—it’s from the start
We’ve been hiding fig leaves over shattered hearts
But I heard a voice still walking in the dark
Said, “You’re not too far… Come as you are”

Come as you are

Come as you are

Come as you are

Verse 2 
There are no hard feelings if you wanna play pretend
But something in me's tired of this end-to-end
And maybe in the morning, I could be someone you really knew
If you wanted to

Pre-Chorus
Don’t be afraid now
Love’s not gonna leave you tonight
Even in the breakdown
Redemption’s in the light

Chorus
She said, “You don’t want this heart, no, it can’t be fixed”
I said, “Love already came and bled for this”
If you still wanna run, there’s still nothin’ wrong
But baby, you should know that’s what I longed for all along

Outro
That kind of love, that kind of love
Not just a flame, but fire from above
That kind of love, that kind of love
That’s what I long for, all along
