Thing Called Love

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, eh
Listen, your 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 say 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 have 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 are searching
Feeling like it never found you

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

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
And 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're scared to fall
'Cause you know if that person hurt you
You're gonna 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, alive in the mind
See, it probably isn't there if you're struggling to find it

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

This love got me on the 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?
You've been there through all the pain
I swear, I love it
No matter what you do, it won't disappear
Does it?
Yeah, I'd rather spend a minute with the love of my life
Then 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 find the right person
And everything that you thought
That wasn't, becomes worth it

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
