She Is Love
3 Doors Down Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Said you wanted to feel beautiful
And did I ever tell you differently?
I tried to give you all that you deserved
And never mind the things you said to me
Along the way I didn't say all the things I felt inside myself
You took away all that I thought was mine
And then you gave it all to someone else
You said you only wanted love
The love wasn't enough
And soon enough you said goodbye, goodbye
How weary am I to be?
Of all that I can see
And I can see your love was a lie

Everybody told me I was crazy
But you told me to believe your lies
Guess I was sober, but now your love might save me
But I think I died a thousand times
I never knew this side of you
The side that I wish I had never seen
Soon enough I guess I would discover I had a lover could be so mean

You said you only wanted love
The love wasn't enough
So soon enough you said goodbye, goodbye
How weary am I to be?
Of all that I can see
And I can see your love was a lie

You said you only wanted love
The love wasn't enough
So soon enough you said goodbye, goodbye
How weary am I to be?
Of all that I can see
And I can see your love was a lie

Said you wanted to feel beautiful
And did I ever tell you differently?
I tried to give you all that you deserved
Never mind the things you said

You said you only wanted love
The love wasn't enough
So soon enough you said goodbye, goodbye
How weary am I to be?
Of all that I can see
And I can see your love was a lie

You said you only wanted love
The love wasn't enough
So soon enough you said goodbye, goodbye
How weary am I to be?




Of all that I can see
And I can see your love was a lie

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to She Is Love by 3 Doors Down are a reflection of a failed relationship where the singer's lover was not genuine about her feelings and intentions. The song starts with the singer acknowledging his efforts to make his partner feel beautiful, despite the things she said to him. He harbored feelings inside but never could express them in words. The chorus reveals the crucial message of the song that even though the singer's love was true, it was not enough to hold the relationship together. The bridge further conveys the singer's disappointment and realization that his partner was dishonest about her love for him.


The last verse is notable because the lyrics showcased the singer's disbelief and pain that his partner could be so cruel. He had never seen that side of her before, and the thought of the person he had been in love with behaving that way was difficult to accept. The song ends with the same chorus, reiterating that his lover's love was a lie.

She is love
Lyrics in Spanish

ella camina por la ciudad
nadie conoce su cara
ellos no quieren su compasión
nadie nunca menciona su nombre
ella ha llevado a los quebrantados
pero sus cicatrices no tienen nombre en su corazón
porque ella camina en el perdón
ella brillará como una luz en la oscuridad

ella es el amor (4)

ella siempre recordará
los días en que le dieron la bienvenida aquí
saben que si la necesitan
ella hizo una promesa de estar siempre aquí

ella es el amor (2)

cuando estén débiles ella siempre será fuerte
aunque ellos no lo saben que nunca están solos
no importa cuántas veces ellos puede dejar
nunca es inútil porque ella sigue creyendo

ella es el amor (6)
