Lu Alex - Cycles

Mmm
Mmm

This ain't no love letter
Breaks my heart to say this ain't no love letter
I'm sorry to admit, this ain't no love letter
Nah. This ain't no love letter

See. Love wouldn't let you fall in love just to leave you
Love wouldn't speak of a future it ain't agree to
Love wouldn't try to keep you secret from the world
Love wouldn't put you second to another girl

This ain't no love letter
Nah. This ain't no love letter

So when you find it, find a love that was realer than mine
Find a love that puts you to bed with a clear mind
A true love that is patient and kind, partly physical
But mostly divine, one of a kind. Realize this ain't no love letter

That wasn't love that was loneliness. No love letter

You not the only one I hurt. I guess that's why you call me dangerous
Lately, I've been noticing how bad my pain can get
It's the kind of pain that doesn't want to hurt alone
Kind that wants to call your phone and tell you bout what's going on
Kind that doesn't worry bout if stressing you is right or wrong
Long as I don't have to go back home and do it on my own
Kind that never lets me get no sleep unless I'm writing songs
Or unless I call you and we get to sipping something strong

Look. Don't get me wrong, you know I got a lot of love for you
At the time it didn't show by what I put you through
The greatest love I could've shown you was to give you your space
I took up room inside your heart, and that was never my place
But we ain't care bout none of that when we was up all night
Getting high was our vacation, can't afford no flight
We would rather freestyle at 4219
Looking back I see that all of us were going through things
But it's okay though, we just young man, you live and you learn
Everybody goes through it, we just taking our turn
We just hope our turn doesn't take a turn for the worse
Or maybe secretly we do wanna end up in a hurst
Before I started things with you, I started moving reckless
It's a never ending cycle, it's all connected
And I thought I made it out, I changed my place on the map
Until I got a call that said I better stay with the strap
I did a couple dudes dirty man, we all talk tough
At some point, I had to calm down. Enough is enough
It's too many brothers dying from reactions to love
If we could just communicate, we might stay 6 feet above
Of course these things are so much easier when said than done
I guess that's why we feel the need to ride around with the gun
To be honest, I don't see it stopping no time soon
But by that time we prolly already reached our doom

This ain't no love letter
This ain't no love letter
This ain't no love letter
We just need to learn to love better
