With Love Like That

(album: No More Hope For The Hopeless - 2022)

All my life, tryna save myself
In the heart of somebody else
But I know pain's really all I've felt
Time I broke this cycle

'Cause I been looking in bottles
Rolling up just to get the high I need
Spent last night loving a model
But the conversation didn't model love to me
Transactions replacing passion, or is it all made up?
Straight up for movie screens
Swear I been trying to change up
Seeing through fake love
Out here trying to wake up

Think they sold us a lie
I'm doing it different this time

I don't want to play all the same games (I'm so done)
Everything I love just brought me pain, and I'm done

Done being a life raft for someone (Someone)
Always walking on eggshells with loved ones (Loved ones)
I'm exhausted past this, I'm so done
If it's love like that, I don't want none

Finally trying to protect my energy (Yeah!)
Get the bag, run a lap for the money tree (Yeah!)
Turn a house to a home, be a better me (Yeah!)
If somebody truly get it, they gon' have to be
Down for the man that I am
I ain't changing for nobody, there's a line in the sand
Had a lot people change once I really show 'em me
Now you get it from the get-go or you let me be (Or you go and let me be)

Think they sold us a lie
I'm doing it different this time

I don't want to play all the same games (I'm so done)
Everything I love just brought me pain, and I'm done

Done being a life raft for someone (Someone)
Always walking on eggshells with loved ones (Loved ones)
I'm exhausted past this, I'm so done
If it's love like that, I don't want none
