If This Is Love
The Foreign Exchange feat. Yahzarah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My love is gone with Yesterday
{My love is gone with Yesterday}
My love is gone with Yesterday
{My love is gone with Yesterday}

We had a love for all seasons
At least it's how it used to be
There was no time, space or reason
More special to us than we

My love continue to flourish
As a flower blooms in spring
Then you tried to play love for silly
But the loser is the fool
Who doesn't play love by the rules

If she breaks your heart
I will send a robin to sing happy tunes for you
Cause I may not be around
To do the things I used to do
And if you awake to find you're lost
I will send a glad star to lead you on your way
Cause the love I felt inside
Has gone away with yesterday

My love is gone with Yesterday
{My love is gone with Yesterday}
My love is gone with Yesterday
{My love is gone with Yesterday}

There was a time when forever
Was common-place for me and you
Laughing, loving, sharing, caring
Seemed to be made just for us two

But I kept on building the dream world
That I thought was you and I
Sorry, I'm sadly mistaken
Cause our castle in the sky
Has turned into a mere goodbye

If she breaks your heart
I will send a robin to sing happy tunes for you
Cause I may not be around to do the things
I used to do
And if you awake to find you're lost
I will send a glad star to lead you on your way
Cause the love I felt inside
Has gone away with yesterday

Cause the love I felt inside
Has gone away with yesterday

Love is gone with yesterday
Love is gone with yesterday
Love is gone with yesterday
Love is gone with yesterday
Love is gone with yesterday
Love is gone with yesterday




Love is gone with yesterday
Love is gone with yesterday

Overall Meaning

The song “If This Is Love” by The Foreign Exchange featuring Yahzarah explores the theme of lost love and heartbreak. The song’s lyrics describe a love that once flourished but has now gone away with yesterday. The chorus repeats the line “My love is gone with Yesterday” multiple times, emphasizing the finality of the end of the relationship. The verses describe the couple’s past, where they once had a love for all seasons and shared a special bond. However, the dream world that was created by one of the partners was a mistake, and the castle in the sky they had built has come crashing down. The song offers a sense of resignation in the face of lost love, as the singer acknowledges that they may not be there to help mend the heart of the person they once loved.


The lyrics are open to interpretation, but the theme of lost love is universal and relatable. The song captures the feeling of heartbreak and the struggle to move on from a past relationship. The reference to a robin and a glad star in the chorus offers a sense of hope and comfort, as if the singer is trying to reassure the listener that they will be okay even if they are alone. The song’s slow, mournful melody adds to the sense of loss and longing.

Most of the music of The Foreign Exchange has a smooth, mellow, lay back sound that calms the nerves of anyone who feels trapped in our go, go, go hurry up society. Their music makes you want to stop and really look at the blue sky and white clouds, smell the flowers, and slow your pace of life. This is especially true in the song entitled "If This Is Love" feat Yah Zarah

Lewis Rhymes

Agreed, you explained that beautifully!

Pridefulebony

One can not listen to this music and operate on low vibrations. U will start operating in love and kindness. Their music and a lot of others are very healing to the soul. Which is also why this music will never be mainstream...

Phillip Watkins

you're absolutely right

lpfan091989

No problem, homie. I appreciate the mention and for checking out the channel and videos. Thats great, I'm sure Nicolay and Phonte will be happy to know that. Just support the music because I'm sure you've come to know this already, good music should always exist. Supporting it is what we, as fans, need to do.
