| I just need some time, I'm tryna think straight
|
| I just need a moment in my own space
|
| Ask me how I'm doin', I say "okay," yeah
|
| But ain't that what we all say?
|
| Sometimes I think back to the old days
|
| In the pointless conversations with the old me
|
| Yeah, back when my momma used to hold me
|
| I wish somebody woulda told me
|
| If you want love, you gon' have to go through the pain
|
| If you want love, you gon' have to learn how to change
|
| If you want trust, you gon' have to give some away
|
| If you want love, if you want love
|
| Yeah, as a kid I used to think life
|
| Is moving so slow, I watch it go by
|
| Look out the window on my bus ride
|
| I thought the world was so small, through my closed eyes
|
| I've always tried to control things
|
| In the end that's what controls me
|
| Maybe that's why I'm controllin'
|
| I wish somebody woulda told me
|
| If you want love, you gon' have to go through the pain
|
| If you want love, you gon' have to learn how to change
|
| If you want trust, you gon' have to give some away
|
| If you want love, if you want love
|
| The older I get, I feel like I'm always tryna save time
|
| Talkin' to the voices in my head, they make me think twice
|
| Tellin' me it doesn't mean it's wrong because it feels right
|
| I'm scared that one day I'll wake up and wonder where'd the time go
|
| Talk about the past like it's the present while I rock slow
|
| I'll sit in the living room and laugh with kids of my own
|
| And tell 'em
|
| If you want love, you gon' have to go through the pain
|
| I wish you woulda told me
|
| If you want love, you gon' have to learn how to change
|
| I wish somebody woulda told me
|
| If you want trust, you gon' have to give some away
|
| You gon' have to give
|
| If you want love, if you want love
|
| If you want love, if you want love |
