They say love don't hurt when it's real

Truth is, love gon' test you

And peace ain't free, it's practice, ah

I used to think real meant painless

Like we could love without the strain

But we both got tempers, we both got pasts

We both bring joy, we both bring pain

It's forgiveness that keep us together, uh

Not perfection that's fake

You gon' hurt me, I'll hurt you

But the healing is what we make

Seen the highs and the lows, I just know what I know

Ain't no map for this road, I go where I go

Turn that pain into peace, that's how I learn to grow

There's people you should know, people you should tell know

They don't like when you say know

They love you more when you fall

As soon as you stand on something

They say you're cold, you done changed your soul

But I ain't built to be drained no more

I'm built to protect my flow

Some gon' call that selfish

But that's peace and I need both

I used to overexplain my worth (ay)

Now I let silence speak first

If you mad I got boundaries

You was never really for me, ooh

Seen the highs and the lows, I just know what I know

Ain't no map for this road, I go where I go

Turn that pain into peace, that's how I learn to grow

There's people you should know, people you should tell know

Buddy, buddy, buddy, buddy, buddy

People you should tell know

Buddy, buddy, buddy, buddy, buddy

And people you should tell know

I've been the one they call when it's heavy

A strong friend, a steady

Nobody checking if I'm ready

They just hand me what's broken or let me carry

But I learned to find peace in a small thing

A touch, a word, a glance, mistakes

And when love don't fit like it used to

I thank God I still got grace

You wanna see true colors? Tell somebody know, know

See who still love you when you ain't convenient

See who call just to check not to need

I'm saying no, know

To a drain (drain) to a phase (phase) to a fall

'Cause growth don't come from pleasing

It come from peace

Scene of highs and lows, I just know what I know

Ain't no map for this road, I go where I go

Turn that pain into peace, that's how I learn to grow

There's people you should know, people you should tell know

Buddy, buddy, buddy (ooh-ooh)

People you should tell know

Buddy, buddy, buddy (ooh-ooh)

Scene of highs and lows, I just know what I know (buddy)

Ain't no map for this road, I go where I go (buddy)

Turn that pain into peace, that's how I learn to grow

There's people you should know, people you should tell know
