  • Do say myself, you're gone
    If I, if I do say so myself, you're gone (you're gone)
    You don't wanna talk about the way we are
    I cannot pretend this is perfect, this is perfect

    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

    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 that's not what you're chasin'
    Truth might hurt, but I know I can take it
    Don't say love just because you can say it
    I need, I need, I need, I just need somethin' that
    I just need somethin' that, I just need somethin' that's real

    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, no, this ain't perfect

    Tell me something's wrong (what's wrong)
    I feel like I just can't be myself (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

    Don't say love if that's not what you're chasin' (oh, empty lies)
    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

    Give me somethin' I can hold on to, boy (give me somethin')
    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

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

    Don't say love if that's not what you're chasin' (ah)
    Empty lies, empty words, entertainment (don't even say it)
    Don't say love just because you can say it (just because you can)
    I need, I need, I need, I just need somethin' that's real

    Give me somethin' I can hold on to, boy
    Give me somethin I can hold forever, for life (for life)
    If it's not you, gotta watch me leave, boy (I don't wanna 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 Writer/s: Gregory Aldae Hein, Jimmie Gutch, Jonathan David Bellion, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Pete Nappi
