Season, reason, or a lifetime

People come into your life for a season, a reason

Maybe for a lifetime

Only thing you can control, how you treat them

Master all your fear inside

But what they gon' do? They gon' leave me, they gon' go away

Something we just don't know, only time will say

Could be a reason, a season, or a lifetime

A reason, a season, or a lifetime

You said you needed someone

Someone who wanted to explore the world, too

You said that you thought you had that

But after one thing, you was down all new

Look at you, how quick you had to fall back

Self-sabotaging any type of progress

Trying so hard not to be no one's fool

But it's some things that you're missing, too, oh, oh, oh

People come into your life for a season, a reason

Maybe for a lifetime

Only thing you can control, how you treat them (how you treat them)

Master all your fear inside (all your fear inside)

But what they gon' do? They gon' leave me, they gon' go away (yeah)

Something we just don't know, only time will say (yeah)

Could be a reason, a season, or a lifetime

A reason, a season, or a lifetime

Try so hard to protect my energy

Surging ain't so easy

But you find out you can't hold on to everyone

And that just stands to reason

And I'm blessed just to grab a little piece of your love

And you're so down but you're busy holding me up

(Hold me up and it gives me life)

Some people come to your life for a season

People come into your life for a season, a reason

Maybe for a lifetime (yeah)

Only thing you can control, how you treat them (How you treat them)

Master all your fear inside (oh, yeah)

But what they gon' do? They gon' leave me, they gon' go away (they'll go away)

Something we just don't know, only time will say

Could be a reason, a season, or a lifetime (yeah)

A reason, a season, or a lifetime

I knew I wanted you for a lifetime

You make me whole, you make me right, you're my lifeline

I knew I wanted you for a lifetime (lifetime, lifetime)

I knew I wanted you for a lifetime

Anything I ever wanted, my lifeline

I knew I wanted you for a lifetime (lifetime, lifetime)
