Lyrics

Everybody, everybody wants to know
 Where you going to
 What you running from
 What you going through
 Where you coming from
 What you going through
 Where you coming from
 Everybody, everybody wants to know
 What you gonna do
 Where you going to
 'Cause they wanna come
 Where I'm showing you
 Yes, they wanna come
 Where I'm showing you
 All that you can be is a spectacle
 Following after every single miracle
 Watch them marvel at
 All the joy you have
 But they're too important to have all the joy you have
 What a tragedy, you can laugh at me, you can laugh at me
 But I'm in love
 Yes, I'm in love
 Don't you wish you had real love
 
 Yes, I'm in love
 ♪
 Tryna fix myself for society
 Tryna mix myself for society
 But can you tell me where is love in anxiety?
 Can you tell me where is love in anxiety?
 What you say to me
 I don't mind at all
 What you say to me
 I don't really care at all
 'Cause I'm in love
 Don't you wish you had real love?
 I know you do
 Yes, I'm in love
 ♪
 Watch them speculate
 On the life you live
 Watch them try to hate
 All the love you give
 All the love you give
 Everybody, everybody wants to know
 Where you going to
 'Cause they wanna come
 Or so they think, until they find the cost of it
 'Til they found out, found out what you lost for it
 And I'll do it all again
 'Cause I found love
 'Cause I found love
 Don't you wish you had real love?
 I know you do
 Yes, I'm in love
 ♪
 Everybody, everybody wants to know
 Where you going to
 What you running from
 What you going through
 Where you coming from
 What you going through
 Where you're coming from
 Everybody, everybody wants to know
 What you gonna do
 Where you going to
 'Cause they wanna come
 Where I'm showing you
 Yes, they wanna come
 Where I'm showing you
 All that you can be is a spectacle
 Following after every single miracle
 Watch them marvel at
 All the joy you have
 But they're too important to have all the joy you have
 What a tragedy, you can laugh at me, you can laugh at me
 But I'm in love
 Yes, I'm in love
 Don't you wish you had real love?
 I know you do
 Yes, I'm in love
 ♪
 So what you say to me, I don't even mind at all
 What you say to me, I don't even care at all
 'Cause I'm in love
 Don't you wish you had real love?
 I know you do
 Don't you wish you had real love?
 ♪
 These broken thoughts in my mind
 Can't let them get down in there
 Can't let them get down in there
 These broken thoughts in my mind
 Can't let them get down in there
 Can't let them get down in there
 'Cause I need real love
 ♪
 I need real love
 ♪
 I'm guarding, guarding the gates, ayy
 (The gates)
 (Guard, guarding)
 Oh, I'm guarding my gates
