The Work

I can't promise that I'll be perfect or even that ill try
Fancy possessions are not a thing I can provide
But if you can look past all the things that I can't give
I promise you the following as long as we both live

I will always start your fires
And i'll always warm your bed
And when you wanna sleep late I'll make sure the dog is fed
I will always do your dishes
I will always love your quirks
But most of all, I will always do the work
I will always do the work

I will never be good at cleaning and I cannot fix your car
And I'll probably spend too much time on the inside of a bar
It won't always be easy but we'll face it as a team
We both have our strengths, and these are mine it seems

I'll be punctual for both of us
cause you'll always be late
And I'll always love your smile
as much as you love Maine
Any time you're scared
I will always dive in first
But most of all I will always do the work

I'll always say I'm sorry
Even when I know you're wrong
And I'll always try to love you
like we're living in a song
When happiness is missing
And times are at their worst
Know that I will always do the work
Know that I will always do the work
