"handbook" lyrics

Baby, you know I've been tryin lately
Even if you disagree
Seems I'm always at a crossroads
If only you could tell me which way to go

'Cause you fold when I bend
Now I'm almost at my end
I don't know what to do
To see your point of view
You don't have to pretend
I can always try again
I just wanna learn all of you

Wish you could give me a handbook
Teach me all the ways to make you feel understood
Make a list of all the dos and don'ts
All the things you love and hate the most
That ain't how love really grows

I'm sorry, honey, I'm just as confused
Trust me, it isn't just you
Don't focus on the things we don't know
But rather that we aren't growing alone

No, I don't come with a handbook
To teach you all the ways to make me feel understood
Can't make a list of all the dos and don'ts
All the things I love and hate the most
'Cause that ain't how love really grows

Navigate, reassess
Love got no GPS
Every page, every step
Give me your mess
Navigate, reassess
Love got no GPS
Every page, every step
Give me your mess

Maybe we don't need a handbook
To teach me all the ways to make you feel understood
Forget the list of all the dos and don'ts
I'll learn the things you love and hate the most
Ain't that how love really grows
