[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
I just need some time, Im tryna think straight
~#**************#~
I just need a moment in my own space
~#**************#~
Ask me how Im doin, I say “okay,” yeah
~#**************#~
But aint 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
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
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
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
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
~#**************#~
Ive always tried to control things
~#**************#~
In the end thats what controls me
~#**************#~
Maybe thats why Im controllin
~#**************#~
I wish somebody woulda told me
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
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
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
The older I get, I feel like Im always tryna save time
~#**************#~
Talkin to the voices in my head, they make me think twice
~#**************#~
Tellin me it doesnt mean its wrong because it feels right
~#**************#~
Im scared that one day Ill wake up and wonder whered the time go
~#**************#~
Talk about the past like its the present while I rock slow
~#**************#~
Ill sit in the living room and laugh with kids of my own
~#**************#~
And tell em
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
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
