This thing called love can be so cold
It can be miserable or it can be beautiful
This thing called love can be so cold
Sometimes it's amazing,
sometimes it's crazy
This thing called love
Check, check, ayy, listen
Yo, love is like a drug that everybody uses
You wanna know the outcome
Depends on how you use it
Love could be your best friend
Love can be your enemy
Love can be the thing you wish you had
But you don't ever see
Love can be the reason why
You're afraid to have it
Some say it like it means something
Others, it's a habit
And some would say it's tragic
Some would say it's beautiful
Some would say it's black and it's dark
Like a funeral
And some would die for it
Some don't think it's even real
Some say they understand
But really don't know how it feels
Some say that it's alive
Some say that it can kill
But most of us has been on it
Know that sometimes it will
I ain't gonna sugarcoat it
Yeah, sometimes it might surround you
One minute it's saving you
Next it's trying to drown you
Some people want to show it
But were never taught how to
And some of us is searching
Feeling like it (never found you)
Your love is like a privilege
A lot of us abuse it
Do with it what we want
And start crying when we lose it
Pretend, like it ain't nothing to us
Pretend like it's useless
We don't know why we do this
But yet, we still pursue it
And love, it can consume you
Turn you into something else
Bury the real you so deep
That you can't even find yourself
Love, it can change you
Love, it can tear you down
Be the best thing you ever had
And kick you on the ground
Yo, you get on that high level
Yeah, you scared to fall
'Cause you know if that person hurt you
You gon' lose it all
They told you they would be there for you
They don't even call
So that openness you used to have
Has now become a wall
And some say that it's patient
Some say that it's kind
I don't think it's invisible
But I know that it's blind
To some it's only physical
Or all up in their mind
See, it probably isn't there
If you're struggling (to find it)
This love has got me down low
Now I guess I'm up high
One minute I'm on the ground
The next minute I'm in the sky
I feel invincible and so unrejected
Forget it, I'm invisible and I feel unprotected
But I don't need nobody else
Trust me, I'm fine
I can't do this by myself, I'm losing my mind
I can see clearly, forget it I'm blind
My heart says danger
Can't you read the signs?
Yo, but through all the pain, I swear I love it
No matter what you do
It don't disappear, does it?
Yeah, I'd rather spend a minute
with love in my life
Than go a million years
without knowing what it's like
You better grab it, you don't want to lose it
Yeah, it brings pain, it's insane, but the bruises
My God can take that all away
You'll find the right person
And everything you thought
That wasn't (becomes worth it)
