token - what does your love look like? lyrics

[chorus: token]
i’m not right for you
but i’m just what i should be
you tried to change me, i tried to change you
we never changed, did we?
what does your love look like?
what does your love look like?
what does your love look like?
what does your love look like?

[verse 1: token]
as much as i do wanna love you
i feel like we’re speakin’ two different languages
your house had a gate, and mine had instigated
so that’s the environment we feel safer in
you thought it was crazy how long that it took me
to tell you, “i love you” like that was the weirdest
i only heard dad say, “i love you” when mom in the room
when he went back in to singing his lyrics
so how could you blame me?
’cause you always choose to (you always choose to)
you wanna know where i be at all the time
but that’s not what i’m used to (not what i’m used to)
you knew when your dad was at work
or he’s home when he’s takin’ a load off (takin’ a load off)
i didn’t know where until 1:24, the day i got that phone call
and i let the phone drop
i’m tryna be my best to be a gentleman
i’m tryna learn i’d never had the chance
i still look to my manager, but he gon’ teach me how to be a rapper before a good man
i grew up afraid to find a letter on momma’s dresser telling us goodbye
i’m used to it all so you ain’t gotta hold back and cry
but i gotta tell you why
[chorus: token]
i’m not right for you
but i’m just what i should be
you tried to change me, i tried to change you
we never changed, did we?
what does your love look like?
what does your love look like?
what does your love look like?
what does your love look like?

[bridge: ren]
i’m not right for you
but i won’t get up and leave
’cause i hate the pain that this color my veins that is present in solitary
what does your love look like?
does it look black and white?
is he your kryptonite?
do all your demons get louder at night
and the voices get softened when we’re intertwined?

[verse 2: ren]
i’ve been going to therapy lately
’cause the cause and effect made me hate the
way that i feel when the lovin’ gets real
’cause i just wanna run and escape the
pressure that pains me
pressure of safety
pressures of promises that turn to maybes (pressure)
pressure of bravely moving in the same direction (pressure, pressure)
the pressure’s been drivin’ me crazy!
so my therapist said that these moods
that i kept were created when i was a kid
and just like that all my thoughts raced back to a welsh town, ’96
my mother was crying, my father was screaming and shoutin’
denying the sin of deceiving and cheating and lyin’
the weeds were uprooted, the garden is dying, but still she forgives
the cycle repeats every night, i tried to sleep
hearing the screams through concrete
muddling peace, a vision of love
a lesson that fused with the cells in my blood
a lesson that taught me that love ain’t enough
and that love can be porcelain when times get tough
flash forward five years later
sitting in the passenger seat of my dad’s car with my maker
my dad looks shaken, turned to face him
the words that he spoke cut+throat like razor
he said, “ren, sometimes love can be complicated”
“navigating a world that we co+created”
“and i’ve made mistakes, but i will love you daily”
and just like that, it’s just me, my mom and my sis
the stress left mom disabled for a bit
[pre+chorus: ren]
i grew up fast then, ’cause i gotta be a new ren
strong for my sis and my mom not a loose end
confused but moving through the confusion
but all new love feels fake like truman

[chorus: ren]
what does your love look like?
does it tear your insides?
does it keep you up at night?
my brother, does it make you feel like a fist in your windpipe?
suffocate the feeling of what love’s meant to feel like
navigating new, but i’m still not quite right
one+night stand make the pain stop one night
one more heart to the blade of my cold knife
what does your love look like?
(what does your love look like?)
(what does your love look like?)
(what does your love look like?)
(what does your love look like?)

[verse 3: token]
you realize how hard i work, and you told me you feel for me
if i lost all my motivation tomorrow, would you still love me?
it’s easy to love when i’m up, when i’m down and you leavin’
you can’t even give me an answer ’cause you never seen it
and that’s why it’s hard to believe it
if you needed help, but i’m too far away, is it over for you? (huh)
maybe i’m just not the person for you
even though i could still be the soul for you (right)
maybe we are meant to be together
but our history got in the way (in the way)
your trust issues, my fear issues
too many issues at play
you yell fast, i get quiet
you wanna see more passion (more passion)
i’ve seen what real yelling can lead to
so no, i don’t have it (don’t have it)
i grew up afraid to see holes in the wall
in the room that was locked from inside
i promise i’m used to it all
you don’t gotta ever hold back a cry
but i gotta tell you why
[chorus: token]
i’m not right for you
but i’m just what i should be
you tried to change me, i tried to change you
we never changed, did we?
what does your love look like?
what does your love look like?
what does your love look like?
what does your love look like?

[outro]
(what does your love look like?)
