If This Is Love
Frank McComb Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thoughts wander through my mind everyday
You're back home again, are you here to stay?
I still have these visions of what used to be
The intimate time spent between you and me
Said we'd forever be by each other's side, yes we
Did

I stood on that promise but you lied
I thought promises were meant to keep
But they're only words if there's no sincerity

You never gave me no reason why
You left without even sayin' good-bye
If this is love I'd hate to see how things would be
If there was no love in your heart for me
Now one must be cruel to keep breakin' another's
Heart

And I was a fool to let you rip mine apart
Now this is where I must take a stand as a man




And release my stress by lettin' go of your hand
Believe me I don't wanna do it naw but

Overall Meaning

I can't be trapped in this pain anymore


Frank McComb's song, If This Is Love, is a powerful and emotional piece that delves deep into the feelings of heartbreak, betrayal, and moving on. The lyrics are open to interpretation, but one can gather that the singer is contemplating whether the love they once had with their partner is worth holding onto in the face of lies and broken promises. The lines, "I thought promises were meant to keep. But they're only words if there's no sincerity," exemplify this struggle. The singer is torn between the idea of holding onto the love they once had, and the reality of the pain and heartbreak that came with it. The song's chorus, "If this is love I'd hate to see how things would be. If there was no love in your heart for me," speaks to the singer's doubts about the sincerity of their partner's affections. Despite these doubts, the singer realizes that they must move on and release themselves from the pain that comes with holding onto a love that is not genuine.
