What Love Should Be
Trevor Wesley Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Been around seeing people fall in love
all the time
all my friends ive seen them do it but
most of the time they end up cleaning up
their own heart ache
resulting misfortune
im a young dude, 22 and living the dream
i keep my hopes on high, breaking into the sea

i see some lady here tonight they should be having my baby, baby, baby-ay
ive never been in love but i think i know what real love could be
what love could be
ive never been in love but
i think i know what real love should be
what love should be

some folks now a days, think of love as a trend
i refuse to get caught up thinking with them
im trying hard to hum a different tune
while the world is so consumed
i dont misuse my words
i pick and chose when to say i love her
i say what i mean when i say it but,
i havent said it cause i havent meant it
and ohhh
ive never been in love but,
i think i know what real love could be
what love could be
ive never fell in love but,
i think i know what real love should be

what love should be

i maybe just slightly optimistic,
there will always be that chance (chance)
chance she breaks my heart but,
i will never let that stop me from loving
somebody i guess i'll have to take my chances
and lower the punches of love,
not knowing what it could be but,
what it should be
if it happens to me, happens to me

some say love is a trend,
why it with them?
