If You Want Love

[00:14.72] I just need some time, I'm tryna think straight
[00:18.80] I just need a moment in my own space
[00:21.53] Ask me how I'm doin', I say "okay"
[00:25.15] Yeah, but ain't that what we all say?
[00:28.70] Sometimes I think back to the old days
[00:31.52] In the pointless conversations with the old me
[00:35.62] Yeah, back when my momma used to hold me
[00:38.65] I wish somebody woulda told me
[00:40.62] If you want love, you gon' have to go through the pain
[00:46.86] If you want love, you gon' have to learn how to change
[00:54.50] If you want trust, you gon' have to give some away
[01:00.69] If you want love, if you want love
[01:08.75] Look, as a kid I used to think life
[01:13.38] Is moving so slow, I watch it go by
[01:16.69] Look out the window on my bus ride
[01:19.55] I thought the world was so small, through my closed eyes
[01:23.54] I've always tried to control things
[01:26.64] In the end that's what controls me
[01:30.54] Maybe that's why I'm controllin'
[01:33.34] I wish somebody woulda told me
[01:35.88] If you want love, you gon' have to go through the pain
[01:41.44] If you want love, you gon' have to learn how to change
[01:48.81] If you want trust, you gon' have to give some away
[01:55.07] If you want love, if you want love
[02:04.12] The older I get, I feel like I'm always tryna save time
[02:07.52] Talkin' to the voices in my head, they make me think twice
[02:10.84] Tellin' me it doesn't mean it's wrong because it feels right
[02:16.76] I'm scared that one day I wake up and wonder where the time go
[02:21.77] Talk about the past like it's the present while I rock slow
[02:24.69] I'll sit in the living room and laugh with kids of my own
[02:29.08] And tell 'em
[02:30.42] If you want love, you gon' have to go through the pain
[02:34.42] I wish you woulda told me
[02:36.58] If you want love, you gon' have to learn how to change
[02:41.78] I wish somebody woulda told me
[02:44.40] If you want trust, you gon' have to give some away
[02:48.50] You gon' have to give
[02:51.06] If you want love, if you want love
[02:54.83] If you want love, if you want love
[02:57.57]
