If This Is Love
Taylor-Rae Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You would look at me like i'm the only one in the room
The kinda chemistry that couldn't keep my hands off of you
We fell without trying
Up all night high and
Now we've turned this fire into smoke

If this is love
Why am I second guessing
Drowning in questions my heart and my head
Can't keep up with late night and lonely
I'm lost when you hold me
cre we over and done
Is a half full heart full enough
If I'm asking for more
cm I asking too much
If this is
If this is love

If it isn't and we're finished why can't I walk away
cm I holding on to hope or too afraid to take all the blame
If there's doubt in my mind
Is it too late for trying
cm I just waiting on goodbye

If this is love
Why am I second guessing
Drowning in questions my heart and my head
Can't keep up with late night and lonely
I'm lost when you hold me
cre we over and done
Is a half full heart full enough
If I'm asking for more
cm I asking too much
If this is
If this is love

cm I really scared
Of losing you
Or just being alone

If this is love
Why am I second guessing
Drowning in questions my heart and my head
Can't keep up with late night and lonely
I'm lost when you hold me
cre we over and done
Is a half full heart full enough
If I'm asking for more
cm I asking too much
If this is
If this is love





You would look at me like I'm the only one in the room

Line by Line Meaning

You would look at me like i'm the only one in the room
You would focus on me as if no one else mattered


The kinda chemistry that couldn't keep my hands off of you
The strong bond that made me unable to resist touching you


We fell without trying
We fell in love unexpectedly


Up all night high and
Spending nights awake filled with excitement


Now we've turned this fire into smoke
Our passionate love has fizzled out


If this is love
Questioning if what we have is real love


Why am I second guessing
Wondering why I doubt our relationship


Drowning in questions my heart and my head
Feeling overwhelmed with uncertainty and confusion


Can't keep up with late night and lonely
Struggling to handle the feeling of loneliness at night


I'm lost when you hold me
Feeling confused and unsure when in your arms


Are we over and done
Are we finished and moving on


Is a half full heart full enough
Wondering if partial love is sufficient


If I'm asking for more
Questioning if wanting more from the relationship is too much


Am I asking too much
Questioning if my needs are unreasonable


If it isn't and we're finished why can't I walk away
If this isn't love and we're done, why do I struggle to leave


Am I holding on to hope or too afraid to take all the blame
Wondering if I cling to hope or fear taking responsibility for the end


If there's doubt in my mind
Questioning uncertainty in my thoughts


Is it too late for trying
A question about whether it's too late to make an effort


Am I just waiting on goodbye
Wondering if I'm anticipating the end


Am I really scared of losing you or just being alone
Questioning if I fear losing you or simply fear being alone
