Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If it's really love
That's found its way here?
Oh, how am I to know
Will it linger on
And leave me then?
At this strange happiness
But, oh
How am I to know
Can it be that love
Has come to stay here?
In the song "Am I Wrong" by Holiday and the Adventure Pop Collective, the lyrics express the singer's uncertainty and confusion about whether their newfound feelings are truly genuine love or just a passing moment of happiness. The repeated question of "how am I to know" illustrates the singer's inner turmoil and their reluctance to simply trust their emotions. The anxiety and insecurity are further emphasized in the line "I'll dare not guess, at this strange happiness."
The lyrics also touch on the fear of being abandoned after allowing oneself to feel vulnerable and open to love. The question of whether the love will "linger on" or "leave me then" reveals the singer's concern that their emotions might not be reciprocated or that the relationship might be fleeting. Despite these doubts, the singer still holds onto hope that this feeling might be a sign that "love has come to stay here."
Line by Line Meaning
Oh, how am I to know
I am unsure of the situation
If it's really love
I question whether or not this is true love
That's found its way here?
I am surprised that love has come into my life
Oh, how am I to know
Again, I am unsure of what is happening
Will it linger on
I wonder if this love will remain
And leave me then?
I am worried that this love will eventually disappear
I'll dare not guess
I am hesitant to make assumptions
At this strange happiness
This newfound happiness is unfamiliar to me
But, oh
However,
How am I to know
I am still unsure
Can it be that love
Is it possible for this to be true love
Has come to stay here?
Will this love remain with me
