Is It Love

I keep dancing with the doubt,

Is this how love is supposed to feel now?

Every word you say cuts deep,

But I keep coming back, just to repeat.

I'm questioning the line between pain and desire,

If it hurts this much, should I still be inspired?

I can't tell if I'm falling or if I'm breaking down,

Love should lift you up, but I'm just hitting the ground.

Is it love if it hurts you this way?

If it takes your peace and leads you astray,

Is it love, or is it just fear in disguise?

A game we play where no one wins, but we still try.

You say you care, but it doesn't feel right,

Why do we only see each other through the fight?

You pull me close, but it doesn't feel warm,

How can love grow when it feels like a storm?

I'm questioning the line between pain and desire,

If it hurts this much, should I still be inspired?

I can't tell if I'm falling or if I'm breaking down,

Love should lift you up, but I'm just hitting the ground.

Is it love if it hurts you this way?

If it takes your peace and leads you astray,

Is it love, or is it just fear in disguise?

A game we play where no one wins, but we still try.

Maybe love shouldn't feel this cold,

Maybe we're stuck in a story that's already been told.

We hold on tight, but it's slipping through our hands,

If this is love, then I don't understand.

Is it love if it hurts you this way?

If it takes your peace and leads you astray,

Is it love, or is it just fear in disguise?

A game we play where no one wins, but we still try.

I'm tired of asking if this is love,

Maybe it's time to rise above.

If it hurts this much, then it's time to say goodbye,

Because love shouldn't make you want to cry.
