[Verse 1] I thought I'd go further I thought life would flow smoother Everyone says it’s tough, yeah But where do they hide the tears? Smile like it’s nothing Pretend like it’s fine Why did I think growing up Meant peace of mind? [Pre-Chorus] Now I could bare it all And no one's surprised The world’s too numb Too used to the highs Even love feels… routine Once it becomes a scene But each day is new, isn't it? Why does it all feel the same? [Chorus] Is this love? Is this love? Is this love? Even if we touch until it hurts Is this love? Is this love? Is this love? Will the answer change again tomorrow? Is this love? Is this love? Is this love? I want you, that's all I know Is this love? Is this love? Is this love? Please say you want me too [Verse 2] I liked kindness But life taught me it's not enough Still, I crave it in everyone Even when it makes things tough I thought I knew better I thought I'd outgrow the ache But my heart's still dragging While my mind's awake [Bridge – half-tone shifts, whispery into burst] Every day a silent scream Every touch a broken dream We're not kids, but still we guess Is this love, or just the mess? I know the lines I’ve read the signs But feelings don't sign contracts They just break, and rewind [Final Chorus – emotionally lifted] Is this love? Is this love? Is this love? Even when it’s not what I planned Is this love? Is this love? Is this love? I still reach out for your hand Is this love? Is this love? Is this love? If I cry and you stay Is this love? Is this love? Is this love? Maybe that's the only way
