If it looks love, but is vain 

If it moves like dust in the rain 

If it feels like love but is pain 

Is it love? 

 

If it sounds like love far away 

If it shows and goes in a day 

If it tastes like love thrown away 

Is it love? Is it love? 

 

Looking back now it's all clear 

Love is patient, doesn't fear 

Gives with nothing in return 

Thankful for what I've learned ...isn't love 

 

If it gives but takes it away 

If it holds on to all past mistakes 

If it thinks only of yesterday 

Is it love? 

 

If it wants it all but today 

If it trusts but checks to be safe 

If it knows but doubts anyway 

Is it love? Is it love?

 

Looking back now it's all clear 

Love is patient, doesn't fear 

Gives with nothing in return 

Thankful for what I've learned ...isn't love 

 

Now I'll keep on believing 

Just as long as it takes 

'Till the ringing I’m hearing 

In my ears is replaced 

With the sound of the wind 

Running free in the trees 

And I'm feeling again 

That it's ok to breathe 

 

If it feels like love but is pain 

Is it love?
