Embracing the Real: Unveiling the True Essence of Love
Lyrics
Love is not just having sex
Love is more than just engaging in sexual activity.
When you're tired of being alone
It's not merely a feeling experienced when feeling weary of solitude.
It's not the feeling that you get
Love isn't solely the sensation evoked when receiving a message notification.
When you hear the ding of your phone
It's not just about the excitement of hearing your phone alert.
I'm not trying to preach to you
The song doesn't intend to preach or impose actions on the listener.
Or tell you what you're supposed to do
It doesn't dictate what one should do in a relationship.
But I know that you feel it too
However, it acknowledges that the listener might share a similar emotional experience.
A missing piece inside
Love represents a sense of incompleteness within oneself.
So, here's the truth
The truth about love is about to be conveyed.
Love is hanging on when you wanna give up
Love involves perseverance during moments when one feels like giving up.
Love is standing still when you wanna run
It means remaining steadfast when the urge is to flee.
Yeah, I know that it's not what Hollywood says
It acknowledges that the idealized version of love depicted in Hollywood differs from reality.
But I want something real
The desire is for an authentic and genuine connection, not a facade.
Don't wanna pretend what love is
Refusing to feign or pretend the nature of love.
Da, na, na, na, na, na, na
Repetitive melodic phrase without explicit meaning.
Na, na, na
-Da, na, na
-Na, na, na
-Yeah
-Love is holding their cold hand
-When the doctor says you got three months
Love involves supporting a partner when facing a terminal health diagnosis.
Or cancelling all of your plans
It's canceling personal plans to be present for someone in need.
When they tell you that they need someone
Being there for someone when they express the necessity for companionship.
I know that it's hard to do
Recognizing the difficulty of releasing a part of oneself when required.
To let go of a part of you
It's hard to let go of a significant part of oneself for another.
But one's not quite as good as two
However, one is incomplete without the presence of a significant other.
That missing piece inside
A recurring theme: the sense of incompleteness within oneself.
I'm telling you
Reiterating the concept of love about to be conveyed.
Love is hanging on when you wanna give up
Love entails holding on during moments of wanting to surrender.
Love is standing still when you wanna run
It involves remaining stationary when the inclination is to flee.
Yeah, I know that it's not what Hollywood says
Again, acknowledging the disparity between Hollywood's portrayal and reality.
But I want something real
Seeking something authentic rather than superficial.
Don't wanna pretend
Refusing to pretend that love is always trouble-free or enjoyable.
That it's always easy or always fun
Pain often accompanies the pursuit of beauty and meaningful relationships.
But pain is the road where beauty runs, yeah
Love embodies qualities of patience and kindness.
Love is patient and love is kind
Perhaps, that's why genuine love is challenging to discover.
Maybe that's why it's so hard to find
Repetition of earlier verses.
Love is hanging on when you wanna give up
-Love is standing still when you wanna run
-Love is hanging on when you wanna give up
-Love is standing still when you wanna run
-Yeah, I know that it's not what Hollywood says
-But I want something real
-Don't wanna pretend what love is
-Da, na, na, na, na, na, na
Repetitive melodic phrase without explicit meaning.
Na, na, na
-Da, na, na, na, na, na, na
-Na, na, na
-Da, na, na, na, na, na, na
-Na, na, na
-Yeah
Reaffirmation that love is not as portrayed in movies but seeks authenticity.
