| [Verse 1] | |
| I know it's fake to you | |
| But it was real to me | |
| Tried to stay the same for you | |
| But you changed on me | |
| [PreChrous 1] | |
| You said that you never meant to hurt me | |
| But baby I know this is how it goes | |
| If there is a world where you're not leaving | |
| Then darling I need to know | |
| Lyrics: | |
| [Chorus 1] | |
| Is this really love? | |
| If you don't say the word anymore | |
| If I'm not in love | |
| Let me know when you find what you're looking for | |
| Is this really love? | |
| [Verse 2] | |
| You may have called my bluff | |
| But you've been acting up | |
| Leaving you ain't enough | |
| I just want back my love | |
| You got somebody else to take | |
| My place and did it the wrong way | |
| After all I did for you | |
| [PreChorus 1] | |
| You said that you never meant to hurt me | |
| But baby I know this is how it goes | |
| If there is a world where you're not leaving | |
| Then darling I need to know | |
| [Chorus 2] | |
| Is this really love? (Is this love?) | |
| If you don't say the word anymore | |
| If I'm not in love | |
| Let me know when you find what you're looking for | |
| Is this really love |
