NF | If You Want Love (Lyrics)

“If You Want Love” by NF

 

I just need some time, I’m tryna think straight,
I just need a moment, in my own space,
Ask me how I’m doing, I say, ‘okay’ 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,
Yeah, back when my momma, used to hold me,

I wish somebody woulda 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,

Yeah, as a kid I used to think life,
Is moving so slow, I ‘ll watch it go by,
Look out the window, on my bus ride,
I thought the world was so small, through 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 woulda 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 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!
