Love a Little Less

You got to love a little less
You got to love a little less

I learned how much you felt
When I departed
You didn't cry as much
But I know that I
Have been
Searching
For a
Love that's true
Heaven's
Present
To me
For my continued
Patience and humility
But it's wasted, honestly
On all these boys

I think I'm having a change of heart
Right now, I don't want any part
Only the real can feel it
Only the real can see it
This dating shit is getting hard

You've got to love a little less
You got to love a little less
You got to love a little less
You got to love a little less
This is a message to myself
Take it on the chest
I'm way too young to be this stressed
I'm bound to be depressed
If I don't love a little less
You got to love a little less

I wept as I reflected
On why you're neutral
You didn't see as much as when I
Was a
Baby
Modeling what I
Thought was
Love, but
We're actually crimes

My truth is ugly
But it's wasted, honestly
On all these boys

I think I'm having a change of mind
Right now, I don't have any time
Only the real can feel it and
Only the real can see it
The dating pool is full of grime

You got to love a little less
You got to love a little less
You got to love a little less
You got to love a little less
You got to love a little less
This is a message for myself
Take it on the chest
I'm way too young to be this stressed
But I'm bound to be depressed
If I don't love a little less
If I don't love a little less

I love my mama, my brother
My besties, too
I love my body, my spirit
My heart is true
So I don't need you
I don't need you

Love a little less, love a little less
Ooh, love a little less
Don't change yourself in love
You've got to love a little less
