thrive lyrics

[Chorus]
Love won't come from someone who don't
Want to see you thrive
So if his love is holding you down
That's not love, baby girl, that's pride
If he's holding you down inside
Then love is something he won't provide (No, no, no)
If he's holding you down inside
Then love is something he won't provide

[Verse 1]
Love is patient, love is pure
Love isn't a game that people play when they're lonely or insecure, no
Love is selfless, love is kind
Love is something you can only give if you wanna see somebody shine
There isn't a thing I wouldn't do for you
I would bury my pride just to bear your fruits
If love is a verb, then let your actions show
Otherwise, you gotta let them go, and you should know that

[Chorus]
Love won't come from someone who don't
Want to see you thrive
So if her love is holding you down
That's not love anymore, that's pride
If she's holding you down inside
Then love is something she won't provide
If she's holding you down inside
Then love is something she won't provide (I said girl)
[Verse 2]
Girl, I hate it when you frown
Love to turn that upside down
But at the same time, if you need to be sad
I'm right here in your corner 'til the sadness passes, baby
I'd love to watch your dreams come true
I'll do what I have to do for you (Yeah)
But if it means that I'm watching from the side
Girl, you're worthy of the glory, I just want to see you shine
'Cause your language of love is a tongue of the soul
When I tell you I love you, it means I will go
To the ends of the Earth just to water your rose
If I say I love you, it’s because I know that

[Chorus]
Love won't come from someone who don't
Want to see you thrive
So if their love is holding you down
That's not love anymore, that's pride
If they’re holding you down inside
Then love is something they won't provide
If they’re holding you down inside
Then love is something they won't provide
I said love won't come from someone who don't
Want to see you thrive
So if their love is holding you down
That's not love baby girl, that's pride
Said if they’re holding you down inside
Love is something they won't provide
Said if they’re holding you down inside
Then love is something they won't provide
[Outro]
If they're holding you, holding you, holding you
If they’re holding you, holding you, holding you
If they’re holding you down then baby
Maybe (Gotta cut like)
Love won't come from someone who don't
Want to see you thrive
So if their love is holding you down
That's not love, baby girl, that's pride
