Verse 1)
I love too hard, I always have
Heart on my sleeve, no questions asked
Every time I feel that spark
I hand someone pieces of my heart
I tell myself, “this time’s different”
Ignore the signs, I still listen
‘Cause bein’ lonely hurts the worst
So I settle for what I’m worth
(Pre-Chorus)
I just want arms around me late at night
Someone to tell me I’ll be alright
But every time I let my guard fall down
I’m the one left on the ground
(Chorus)
I crave affection, I crave that love
But every time I give it up
I end up broken, pieces on the floor
Promisin’ myself I won’t feel this no more
Maybe I’m not meant to find love right now
Maybe there’s somethin’ bigger workin’ out
Tryna trust the pain don’t mean I’m lost
Maybe God got bigger plans than love
(Verse 2)
I mistake attention for somethin’ real
Confuse the words with the way I feel
They say the things I need to hear
Then disappear when it gets sincere
I keep askin’, “what’s wrong with me?”
Why love never seems to wanna stay
But maybe it ain’t my fault at all
Maybe I’m meant for more than heartbreak calls
(Pre-Chorus)
Every scar is teachin’ me to grow
Even if it hurts, I didn’t know
That sometimes love don’t come to save
Sometimes love is what I give away
(Chorus)
I crave affection, I crave that love
But every time I give it up
I end up broken, pieces on the floor
Promisin’ myself I won’t feel this no more
Maybe I’m not meant to find love right now
Maybe there’s somethin’ bigger workin’ out
Tryna trust the pain don’t mean I’m lost
Maybe God got bigger plans than love
(Outro / Reflection)
So if I’m alone a little longer
I’m learnin’ how to be stronger
‘Cause sometimes love ain’t the prize we win
Sometimes the purpose is found within
