Lyrics

[Intro]

(Do say, do say, do say, do say)

[Verse 1]

Do say myself, you're gone

If I, if I do say so myself, you're gone

You don't wanna talk about the way we are

I cannot pretend like this is perfect, no, this is perfect

[PreChorus]

Tell me something's wrong

I feel like I just can't be myself

Can you be strong?

I don't wanna be with someone else

Is somethin' wrong?

If we're gonna be, I need your help

If you're down, I'm down for life, just

[Chorus]

Don't say "love" if that's not what you're chasin'

Empty lies, empty words, entertainment

Don't say "love" just because you can say it

I need, I need, I need, I just need somethin' that's real

Don't say "love" if that's not what you're chasin'

Truth might hurt, but I know I can take it

Don't say "love" if that's not what you're chasin'

I need, I need, I need, I just need somethin' that

I just need somethin' that, I just need somethin' that's real

[Verse 2]

Just take it personal

If I, if I do say so, it's personal

I ain't gon' protect your feelings anymore

I cannot pretend like this is perfect, this is perfect

[PreChorus]

Tell me something's wrong (Somethin' wrong)

I feel like I just can't be myself (Myself)

Can you be strong? (Be strong)

I don't wanna be with someone else

Is somethin' wrong? (Somethin' wrong)

If we're gonna be, I need your help

If you're down, I'm down for life, just

[Chorus]

Don't say "love" if that's not what you're chasin'

Empty lies, empty words, entertainment

Don't say "love" just because you can say it

I need, I need, I need, I just need somethin' that's real

[PostChorus]

Give me somethin' I can hold on to, boy

Give me somethin' I can hold forever, for life

If it's not you, gotta watch me leave, boy

I need, I need, I need, I just need somethin' that

I just need somethin' that, I just need somethin' that's real

[Bridge]

(Real)

I just need somethin' that's real (Oh)

I need, I need, I need, I just need somethin' that's real

[Chorus]

Don't say "love" if that's not what you're chasin'

Empty lies, empty words, entertainment (Entertainment)

Don't say "love" just because you can say it (No)

I need, I need, I need (I need), I just need somethin' that's real (Ooh)

Don't say "love" if that's not what you're chasin' (Ooh, don't)

Truth might hurt, but I know I can take it (Can take it)

Don't say "love" if that's not what you're chasin' (Oh)

I need, I need, I need, I just need somethin' that

I just need somethin' that, I just need somethin' that's real
