INTROSPECTION Lyrics

What to do when the love turns cold

I bare it all, I bare my soul

What to do when the love turns cold

I look within, you never know

You don't know what you have until it's gone

But I never really had you all along

They say, "If you love something, set it free"

You'll come back home, but when will that be?

I'm like a bird who lost one of its wings

A canary in a cage who never sings

You say you wanna wait for the right time

But you wouldn't wait for the right guy

Tell me the truth, I know it must be my brains

Cause it's not my looks, did it all by the book

And it took me forever just to be present

You gave me hell, but for me it was heaven

When you came into my life, you lit up my world

It's a fire that burns, I tried to extinguish it

But I never learned, all that it takes

To keep you with me

If I loved you for your body

Would you hold it against me?

Now let's keep it moving, get it in gear, like a ten speed

Used to ask what was on my mind, blank face, thoughts empty

And even though, it was tempting, I never turned my back on you

Uh, you're leaving with me

They used to tell me I was too controlling, overprotective

Just needed your love to console me

But then I remembered how I would cope before I was with you

Went back to living for myself, so I could forget you

And even though you told me "Never change"

You didn't know that for you, my dreams would fade away

And I just couldn't do that to myself

But you helped me realize I don't need no one else, huh

What to do when the love turns cold

I bare it all, I bare my soul

You don't know what you have until it's gone

But I never really had you all along

They say, "If you love something, set it free"

You'll come back home, but when will that be?

I'm like a bird who lost one of its wings

A canary in a cage who never sings

But for you I'm not losing no sleep

I needed you to wake me up, but now I see

I had to view it from a new perspective,

Now it got my mind moving in a new direction

Whenever the world meets me with a question

I look deep inside for introspection
