## Lyrics

**[Chorus]**

This thing called love can be so cold

It can be miserable, or it can be beautiful

This thing called love can be so cold

Sometimes it's amazing, sometimes it's crazy

This thing called love

**[Verse 1]**

Check, check, ayy, listen!

Yo, love is like a drug that everybody uses

You wanna know the outcome—depends on how you use it

Love could be your best friend, love could be your enemy

Love could be the thing you wish you had, but you don't ever see

And love can be the reason why you're afraid to have it

Some say it like it means something, others it's a habit

And some would say it's tragic, and some would say it's beautiful

Some would say it's black and it's dark like a funeral

And some would die for it, some don't think it's even real

Some say they understand, but really don't know how it feels

Some say that it's alive, some say that it can kill

But most of us that been in it know that sometimes it will

I ain't gonna sugarcoat it, yet sometimes it might surround you

One minute it's savin' you, next it's tryin' to drown you

Some people want to show it, but were never taught how to

And some of us is searchin', feelin' like it never found you

**[Chorus]**

This thing called love can be so cold

It can be miserable, or it can be beautiful

This thing called love can be so cold

Sometimes it's amazing, sometimes it's crazy

This thing called love

**[Verse 2]**

Yo, love is like a privilege, a lot of us abuse it

Do with it what we want and then start drama when we lose it

Pretend like it ain't nothing to us, pretend that it's useless

And we don't know why we do this, but yet we still pursue it

And love, it can consume you, turn you into something else

Bury the real you so deep that you can't even find yourself

Love, it can change you, love, it can tear you down

Be the best thing you ever had and kick you on the ground

Yo, you get on that high level, yet you scared to fall

'Cause you know if that person hurts you, you gon' lose it all

They told you they would be there for you, they don't even call

So that openness you used to have has now become a wall

And some say that it's patient, some say that it's kind

I don't think it's invisible, but I know that it's blind

To some it's only physical, or all up in their mind

See, it probably isn't there if you're strugglin' to find it

**[Chorus]**

This thing called love can be so cold

It can be miserable, or it can be beautiful

This thing called love can be so cold

Sometimes it's amazing, sometimes it's crazy

This thing called love

**[Verse 3]**

This love has got me down low, now I guess I'm up high

One minute I'm on the ground, next minute I'm in the sky

I feel invincible, and so unrejected

Forget it, I'm invisible, and I feel unprotected

Yo, I don't need nobody else, trust me, I'm fine

I can't do this by myself, I'm losing my mind

Yeah, I can see clearly, forget it, I'm blind

My heart says, "danger," can't you read the signs?

Yo, but through all the pain, I swear I love it

No matter what you do, it don't disappear, does it?

Yo, I'd rather spend a minute with love in my life

Than go a million years without knowing what it's like

You better grab it, you don't wanna lose it

And yeah, it brings pain, it's insane, but the bruises

My God can take that all away, you'll find that right person

And everything you thought that wasn't becomes worth it

**[Chorus]**

This thing called love can be so cold

It can be miserable, or it can be beautiful

This thing called love can be so cold

Sometimes it's amazing, sometimes it's crazy

This thing called love
