[Chorus]

My gaze posed at the occupation of my predecessor

And everything I never aspired to be peered back at my reflection

Sober eyes, a vow I made in my adolescence

To traverse the terrain of life under no deception

And love was no exception

Can not control erection

But if erection control yo’ direction

Then you’ll never know affection

Just bеcause yo’ soul is settlin’

For that same old obsеssion

Thinkin’ it bestows you pleasure

When it only numbs the emptiness you feel when your life has no objective

Thrills feel good for a second

Came fast ‘cause it don’t take no effort

Left even faster ‘cause yo’ brain can’t go on a break forever

Pain just can’t be escaped forever

And yo’ last will never reach the measure

Of yo’ first, and everytime you try to reseek the treasure

It get a li’l worse and then it worsens

Until you're flirtin’ with the urges of takin’ actions that have no reverses

Normally there’d be aversion

But your logic’s on excursion as you become a cursed version

Of the hurt person you were before you purged purpose

And followed a hollow and cheap endeavor

[Bridge]

Love don’t, uhn uhn (and followed a hollow and cheap endeavor)

Love don’t, uhn, uhn (cheap endeavor)

Love don’t, uhn uhn

Love don’t, uhn uhn

Love don’t, uhn, uhn

Love don’t, uhn uhn

Love don’t, uhn, uhn

[Post-Chorus]

Love don’t work like that

Love ain’t s’posed to hurt like that

See it as an equal, love won’t leave you

It’s just for better or for worse like that

Love don’t know confusion

‘Cause if it’s love, you love to the fullest

No other way to get through it

‘Cause love don’t regret

And if it do, you haven’t met real love yet

Always there to heighten yo’ highs

And be a cushion to yo’ lows

Fulfillment on your best days

And your worst days, you’ll never want to know

A life separate from it

‘Cause that’ll be the death of yourself at your very best up on it

And your happiness will mourn it

You don’t choose to have to breathe, or bleed, or eat, or sleep, or think

Or even fall in love

Because that’s what your body does by instinct

Love is the easiest thing you can do in the world because it’s not somethin’ you can just do

Love is lookin’ at person for who they are and seein’ another extension of you

It is more than just a feelin’

So ask more than just “do this feel right?”

It is more than just a desire

So want more than just this person in your life

Love is a state of bein’

It consumes your mind, your body, your soul, your existence

When you’re with them, ask “do I feel like me and is this the happiest I can be?”

Yeah, is this the happiest I can be?

When I’m with them, do I really feel like me?
