NF Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴THING CALLED LOVE:
*Hook*
This thing called love
Can be so cold
It can be miserable
Or it can be beautiful
This thing called love
Sometimes it's amazing
Sometimes it's crazy
This thing called love
*Verse One*
Check, check, eh
Listen, Your love is like a drug that
Everybody uses
You wanna know the outcome
Depends on how you use it
Love could be your best friend
Love can be your enemy
Love can be the thing you wish you had
But you don't ever see
Love can be the reason why
You're afraid to have it
Some say it like it means something
Others use it like a habit
And some would say it's tragic
Some say it's beautiful
Some say it's black and it's dark
Like a funeral
Some would die for it
Some don't think it's even real
Some say they understand
But don't know how it feels
Some say that it's alive
Some say that it can kill
But most of us that's depending on it
Know that sometimes it will
I ain't gonna sugarcoat it
Yea, sometimes it might surround you
One minute it's saving you
Next it's trying to drown you
Some people want to show it
But were never taught how to
And some of us is searching for it
Feeling like it never found you
*Hook*
This thing called love
Can be so cold
It can be miserable
Or it can be beautiful
This thing called love
Can be so cold
Sometimes it's amazing
Sometimes it's crazy
This thing called love
*Verse two*
Your love is like a privilege
A lot of us abuse it
Do with it what we want
And start crying when we lose it
Pretend that it ain't nothing to us
Pretend like it's useless
We don't know why we do this
But yet, we still pursue it
Love, it can consume you
Turn you into something else
Bury the real you so deep
That you can't even find yourself
Love, it can change you
Love, it can (?)
Be the best thing you ever had
And kick you on the ground
Yo, you get on that high level
Yea, you scared to fall
Cause you know if that person hurt you
You gonna lose it all
They told you they would be there for you
They don't even call
So that openness you used to have
Has become a wall
Some say that it's patient
Some say that it's kind
I don't think it's invisible
But I know that it's blind
To some it's only physical
Alive in they mind
It probably isn't there
If you're struggling to find it
*Hook*
This thing called love
Can be so cold
It can be miserable
Or it can be beautiful
This thing called love
Can be so cold
Sometimes it's amazing
Sometimes it's crazy
This thing called love
*Verse Three*
This love got me on the down low
Now I'm on the up high
One minute I'm on the ground
The next minute I'm in the sky
I feel so invincible
Sometimes dejected
Forget it, I'm invisible
I feel unprotected
But I don't need nobody else
Trust me, I'm fine
I can't do this by myself
I'm losing my mind
I can see clearly
Forget it
I'm blind
My heart says "DANGER"
Can't you read the signs
You been there through all the pain
I swear I love it
No matter what you do
It don't disappear
Does it
I'd rather
Spend a minute with love in my life
Then go a million years without knowing
What it is
You better grab it
You don't want to lose it
It brings pain
It's insane
But the bruises
My God can take that all away
You (?) the right person
And everything that you thought
That wasn't worth it
*Hook*
This thing called love
Can be so cold
It can be miserable
Or it can be beautiful
This thing called love
Can be so cold
Sometimes it's amazing
Sometimes it's crazy
This thing called love

Unclear meaning due to incomplete lyrics
Be the best thing you ever had
Love can be the greatest source of joy and fulfillment
And kick you on the ground
But love can also bring us to our lowest point
Yo, you get on that high level
Love can elevate us to a state of euphoria and happiness
Yea, you scared to fall
However, the fear of losing love can also lead to anxiety
Cause you know if that person hurt you
Because you are aware that if your love is betrayed or hurt
You gonna lose it all
You risk losing everything you hold dear
They told you they would be there for you
Someone made promises of support and presence
They don't even call
But they fail to follow through on their assurances
So that openness you used to have
As a result, the trust and vulnerability you once had
Has become a wall
Has now transformed into a barrier and a source of protection
Some say that it's patient
Some individuals believe that love is patient and enduring
Some say that it's kind
Others perceive love as gentle and compassionate
I don't think it's invisible
The artist does not perceive love as invisible or intangible
But I know that it's blind
However, the artist acknowledges that love is often oblivious and oblivious to faults
To some it's only physical
For some, love is solely based on physical attraction
Alive in they mind
For these individuals, love only exists in their imagination
It probably isn't there
Implying that love may not actually be present in those instances
If you're struggling to find it
If someone is having difficulty discovering and experiencing love
This love got me on the down low
The singer is expressing that this love has them feeling down and subdued
Now I'm on the up high
But suddenly they find themselves in a state of elation and joy
One minute I'm on the ground
Reflecting on the emotional ups and downs of love
The next minute I'm in the sky
Love can bring sudden shifts in mood and perspective
I feel so invincible
In these moments, the singer feels unstoppable and powerful
Sometimes dejected
However, there are also moments of feeling disheartened and downcast
Forget it, I'm invisible
At times, the artist feels unseen and ignored
I feel unprotected
A sense of vulnerability and lack of safety in love
But I don't need nobody else
Despite the challenges of love, the singer does not desire anyone else
Trust me, I'm fine
Assuring that they are doing well despite the emotional turmoil
I can't do this by myself
Recognizing the need for support and companionship in love
I'm losing my mind
The difficulties in love are taking a toll on the singer's mental state
I can see clearly
Gaining clarity and understanding about love
Forget it
Disregarding previous doubts and uncertainties
I'm blind
Yet, there is still a sense of blindness and confusion in love
My heart says 'DANGER'
The singer's heart is warning them of potential harm in love
Can't you read the signs
Encouraging the listener to be aware of the signals and indications in love
You been there through all the pain
Addressing the presence and support of a specific person through difficult times
I swear I love it
Expressing gratitude and affection for that person's support
No matter what you do
Regardless of their actions
It don't disappear
The love the singer feels does not fade or vanish
Does it
Emphasizing the enduring nature of their love
I'd rather
The singer expresses a clear preference
Spend a minute with love in my life
They value even a brief moment with love in their life
Then go a million years without knowing
Rather than living a prolonged existence without experiencing love
What it is
Referring to the essence and significance of love
You better grab it
Advising the listener to seize and cherish love
You don't want to lose it
Warning against the regret of losing love
It brings pain
Acknowledging that love can be accompanied by suffering and heartache
It's insane
Love can drive us to behave irrationally
But the bruises
The emotional wounds and scars caused by love
My God can take that all away
Believing that God has the power to heal and mend those wounds
You (?) the right person
Finding the right individual in love
And everything that you thought
Realizing that everything one believed about love
That wasn't worth it
Was ultimately insignificant or not truly valuable
