Break Me Down

If it's love, then why does it break me down
Why does it break me down
If this is love

Uhh, If it's love, then why does it break me down
Look around too many faces too many heads in the ground
It doesn't work cause the real issue is lack of trust
They say they done but love isn't what you call lust
You don't play that game to think you can find prodigious
The surface is the enemy, so keep your eyes from malicious
A wise man once said walk around like your blind
Yet we don't see clearly just walk past the one your tryna find
They never gonna look at you for what your made
If beauty of the outside is the only thing you really gave
So if things seem so confused
Remember to trust your gut and protect your own bruise

If this is love
Why does it break me down
Why does it break me down
If this is love
Why does it break me down
Why does it break me down

This world is so corrupted, it's disgusting, and not loving
So all they do is to pretend to care for love for something
Waste time on people that never really had interest
But had no respect, want you in bed, feelings dead, that's what they want to invest.
Tell you real is what they all said
In the beginning, told you they never would've left
But in the end keep walking away for another breath, can't finish what they sweat, that's when I say they're really just gonna regret
Because if it's real it takes a lot of hard work
There's worth, but sweating more will get you what you deserve.
I can promise you that patience and time will last forever
Rushing things together is only thing you need to sever
We can make a lot mistakes that always come across
Don't expect the dandy line to be perfect in your walk
The most poison people walk in line to steal your energy
But if I bought all lies, they're gonna be sellin me

If this is love
Why does it break me down
Why does it break me down
If this is love
Why does it break me down
Why does it break me down

I remember growing up my momma told me be wise
I grew up to find that not all love is true it just all lies
Fear is the only thing that's holding us back
More wise to guard my heart from all the hardest cracks
Don't ever be afraid to show that all you can do is be true
You seem flattered by an average who never knew your value
Love isn't taught to beat yourself and force it to work
Those are the same people that come and go to take advantage of your worth
It's who makes you feel all alone to come in your life
Take your all to misuse it for their own healing that's rife
You shouldn't have the need to feel to compete for approval
Good enough isn't a list, it's you to understand yourself is truthful
Believe in yourself, that's how you'll always grow
Your heart may yes but listen as your guts says no
Convince yourself if this is what you want
Don't be afraid if imperfection are what you have to flaunt

If this is love
Why does it break me down
Why does it break me down
If this is love
Why does it break me down
Why does it break me down
