Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm twenty-nine, still learning my name
Black boy heart in a long gold frame
I watched love pass like a train in rain
Window lit up, then gone again
Mama said, "Baby, don't bend too low"
But I been trying where the bruises grow
Hands in my pockets, heart on show
Still nobody taught me where love go
[Pre-Chorus]
By sundown, I can almost feel it
By midnight, it slips through my fingers
I build up hope, then I watch it vanish
Like smoke on glass, like a match that flickers
[Chorus]
Tell me what love feels like
Tell me what love feels like
I keep reaching for the light
But it leaves by night
Tell me what love feels like
Tell me what love feels like
If it stays, I might survive
If it goes, I still try
[Verse 2]
I wear my smile like a clean white shirt
But there's a storm in the seams that hurts
Every good thing seems to know my door
Then it backs away before I ask for more
I've had little sparks, I've had almosts too
Warm little moments that never grew
Now I sit with a drink and a second thought
Wondering if hope can be something bought
[Pre-Chorus]
By sundown, I can almost feel it
By midnight, it slips through my fingers
I build up hope, then I watch it vanish
Like smoke on glass, like a match that flickers
[Chorus]
Tell me what love feels like
Tell me what love feels like
I keep reaching for the light
But it leaves by night
Tell me what love feels like
Tell me what love feels like
If it stays, I might survive
If it goes, I still try
[Bridge]
Maybe love ain't loud at first
Maybe it starts where it hurts
In a room full of old mistakes
In a heart that still knows how to shake
So if you find me, stay a while
Don't let the dark rehearse my smile
I got faith buried under the ache
I got a heart that refuses to break
[Chorus]
Tell me what love feels like
Tell me what love feels like
I keep reaching for the light
But it leaves by night
Tell me what love feels like
Tell me what love feels like
If it stays, I might survive
If it goes, I still try
