Wipe the stain off the coffee
It's so hot in the mornin'
Hear the sound of it callin'
Only love is real
Love is more than just chemistry
More than just a drug, more than just feelings and intrusive thoughts
It's more than just dependency
More than just symptoms of withdrawal, we experience through a loss
It's unpredictable, irrefutable and immovable
A way of tryin' to deny our own decay
It's a kiss up on the face, an amorous embrace
We're tryna hold on tight as time ticks away
Love is a bond, above and beyond
To be loved is to belong, but most of all, love is blind
Love finds that can't be found
It can narrow down the whole world, place it into the wanted desires
Love is the feeling of oneness
One gets to see the sunset beneath the ocean
It's a way to freeze time and a way to dissolve the self
To emerge together for a fleet of memories
But in a world that hates death and loathes shallowness
There's no one that ever chronically decides for it
And when we suicide, we were taught to take pride
Take and seal 'em much inside, we're a pack of lawyers
Stone faced with a cold heart
The price to pay for false pride is to feel alone
But only love is real
Let it free your mind from fear to make this cold world fail in the cold
And I'll just keep it on
And I'll just keep it on, oh yeah
And I'll just keep it on
And I'll just keep it on, oh yeah
And I'll just keep it on
And I'll just keep it on
And I'll just keep it on
And I'll just keep it on
Self-love isn't based upon positions
It doesn't change according to wealth or means
It doesn't feel insecure or threatened
It doesn't depend on someone else for self-esteem
It doesn't need constant validation
A seal of approval or an applaudin' audience
It provides its own affirmations
With no need for the reeds of garlands or the people hurtin' you
Self-love needs no religion, it's stoic wisdom
It's havin' full bodily autonomy
It's feelin' fully content than bein' left on your own
Don't just prefer to not to be
And though love may come with somebody else
Embrace it, but treat it as a traveler twittin' to the end
'Cause self-love precedes lovin' another
'Cause nothin' stands strong for long if it is weak within
Understand that dark is just a lack of light
Understand that hate is just a lack of love
Understand that life within your own heart
Not on the hands of some invisible man-of-war
Get yourself the tip of love you'd love to give
And I promise you'll never fear to be alone
'Cause only love is real
Let her free your mind from fear and make this cold world fail in the cold
And I'll just keep it on
And I'll just keep it on, oh yeah
And I'll just keep it on
And I'll just keep it on, oh yeah
It don't matter if we try somethin' different
A light and a vision, I cannot keep it on
And in your mind, it's been so hard in the system
Fightin' for wisdom, I cannot keep it on
