Lyrics

I just need some time, I'm trying to think straight
I just need a moment in my own space
Ask me how I'm doing, I say ok
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
Back when my mama used to hold me

I wish somebody would have 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

As a kid I used to think life was moving so slow, I watched it go by
Look out the window on my bus ride

I thought the world was so small, behind my closed eyes

I've always tried to control things
In the end, that's what controls me
Maybe that's why I'm controlling

I wish somebody would have 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
Talking to the voices in my head that make me think twice
Telling me it doesn't mean it's wrong because it feels right
I'm scared that one day I wake up and wonder where 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 would have told me
If you want love, you gon' have to learn how to change
I wish somebody would have told me
If you want trust, you gon' have to give some away

If you want love, if you want love
If you want love, if you want love
