If You Want Love Lyrics

I just need some room, a little time to breathe,

Caught in my thoughts, tryna find what I need.

You ask how I'm doin', I smile, say "fine,"

But it's just a line I've rehearsed in my mind.

Sometimes I drift back to younger days,

When life felt simple, less heavy to weigh.

Yeah, when I thought I had it all in my hands,

Now I see things I didn't understand.

If you want love, you've gotta feel the burn,

Gotta take the fall, gotta wait your turn.

If you want trust, you've gotta let it go,

Gotta give it first if you want it to grow.

If you want love, you've gotta break and mend,

Let go of the fear and start again.

If you want love, if you want love.

I used to think that life moved so slow,

Watched the world spin from a window.

Back when I believed in control and plans,

But time had a way of slippin' through my hands.

Maybe that's why I cling so tight,

Holdin' on 'cause it feels right.

Wish someone had told me the way it goes,

That love's got lessons only heartache knows.

If you want love, you've gotta feel the burn,

Gotta take the fall, gotta wait your turn.

If you want trust, you've gotta let it go,

Gotta give it first if you want it to grow.

If you want love, you've gotta break and mend,

Let go of the fear and start again.

If you want love, if you want love.

The older I get, the faster it flies,

Talkin' to myself, tryna read between the lines.

Tellin' myself, "It feels right, so it's not wrong,"

But wonderin' if I've been holdin' on too long.

I picture a life, sittin' by the fire,

Tellin' my kids about love's desire.

I'll say, "Take it slow, don't rush the climb,

If you want love, give it room and time."

If you want love, you've gotta feel the burn,

Gotta take the fall, gotta wait your turn.

If you want trust, you've gotta let it go,

Gotta give it first if you want it to grow.

If you want love, you've gotta break and mend,

Let go of the fear and start again.

If you want love, if you want love.

If you want love, know it comes with pain,

And learnin' how to dance through the rain.

Trust in the journey, let go of control,

Love's a story only time can unfold.

If you want love, yeah, take it slow,

It's a lesson learned, it's a seed you grow.

If you want love, if you want love.
