Lyrics of 'That's Love' by Oddisee

When you told me the truth, even if it really hurt
'Cause you knew a lie was worse (that's love)
When you let me borrow money, that you didn't really have
'Cause you knew what I was worth (that's love)
When I was at my worst, you would tell me I would blow
When I thought that I would burst (that's love)
You taught me how to help others, and through that discovered
How to put myself first

And here we are again, just confronting fears
Whether pain, or gain, it's a bunch of tears
Blood, sweat, and peers, probably disappear
When smoke starts to clear, their persistence near
Pay attention to the folks, who're fanning the flames
They're the ones who matter most, in the gravity game
When stakes weigh you down, and they stay around
And pick up pieces of you off the ground

That's love
That's love
That's love
That's love
Aye, that's love, that's love
That's love, that's
That's love, love, love
That's love

When you were giving me advice, that I seldom ever took
But your head never shook (that's love)
Both knowing you were right, never shook it left to right
Just gave me that look (that's love)
When I had to learn the hard way, and you would let me fall
But never did it out of spite (that's love)
You taught me never burn a bridge
If you built it, then you need it
Whether a river or a brook

And here we are again, in the cross of paths
Darwin's our friendship, strong as glass
But our strength lies in our first thoughts that laugh at
The things that bring most hurt, hearts to clash
Fought past the wall, beat bounced the brawl
Pass it, penniless, blame games, and all
Had a few deals, time outs to chill
But knowing when you need space, means you feel
In love

That's love
That's love
That's love
Aye, that's love, that's love
That's love, that's
That's love, love, love
That's love

Ooh, we try to tell ourselves
That we don't really need it anymore
As if a million dollars, or the bottom of a bottle
Or a carton, never cheated me before
So you started with the: I don't need it, all I need is money
You can give it to me, but you'll never get it from me
Yea you refused to play, but you was still in the game
Like it, or not, let me explain
Now see

There's a tough kind, a too much kind
A not enough kind, a rather rushed kind
An erupt kind, a go nuts kind
A hold up, maybe we should take it slow kind
A when you know kind, it started off as friends
But then over time, it began to show kind
And if we love each other, but we can't stay together
We'll do worse than better, gotta go kind

And that's love
That's love
That's love
That's love
Aye, that's love, that's love
That's love, that's
That's love, love, love
That's love
