Really Love Lyrics

I lived like a broken mirror

I'd break myself down

In hopes I could draw you nearer

Sweep me off the ground (uh)

Now I'm seeing my distortion

All the insecurity that I was lost in

I rather be my whole self than in portions

Wish somebody would have given me some caution

Something like

Hey, where you learn that? If it's really love you ain't gotta earn that (uh)

Where you learn that? If it's really love you ain't gotta earn that, baby (uh)

Where you learn that? If it's really love you ain't gotta earn that (say)

Where you learn that? If it's really love you ain't gotta earn that

If it's really love you're after (oh)

Don't sell yourself short

Don't sell yourself short

Don't sell yourself

If it's really love you've captured (oh)

I wish you much more

I wish you much more

Of the love that you're made for

I needed to know someone took joy in my existence

I learned to make 'em joyful and boy is there a difference

Learned to curb opposition into allyship

Always be the most agreeable, that's how I fit

Insecure Black boy, only thing that's on his mind

What can I do or say so they'll embrace me overtime

Less complaining, more complying

It's a dangerous design

When the basis for relating is the way you tow the line, listen

They call it people pleasing but what you don't see beneath

It's really me that's pleading

Help me to meet my needs

Help me to keep believing that people won't up and leave

I just need love and comfort and none of it comes for free

See that's what I was taught

If wanna get love, you gotta sacrifice a lot

Denied my own needs till my appetite was lost

Now I'm changing the plot, claiming back what I forgot

Now, every relationship is like a re-education

Specially dedicated to learning what it's like

To celebrate and be celebrated

For what's at the essence, baby

Love so sacred ain't a thing that could separate me

Where you learn that? If it's really love you ain't gotta earn that (uh)

Where you learn that? If it's really love you ain't gotta earn that, baby (uh)

Where you learn that? If it's really love you ain't gotta earn that (say)

Where you learn that? If it's really love you ain't gotta earn that

If it's really love you're after (oh)

Don't sell yourself short

Don't sell yourself short

Don't sell yourself

If it's really love you've captured (oh)

I wish you much more

I wish you much more

Of the love that you're made for

If it's really love you're after (oh)

Don't sell yourself short

Don't sell yourself short

Don't sell yourself

If it's really love you've captured (oh)

I wish you much more

I wish you much more

Of the love that you're made for
