Lyrics
If this is love…
If this is love
Baby, my needs should be met, you know what I’m saying
If this is love
You shouldn’t be coming in so late, I’m not playing
If this is love
Then why’s sacrifice one‑sided, it should mean something—
If this is love…
It’s been five years, show me the ring, stop bluffing…
Yeah… stop playing with my time…
You claim this love is real, but baby, where’s the math?
All your mistakes, I patch, but you just laugh.
Thought your words could heal the pain away,
But feelings don’t fade just ‘cause you say they may.
From the corner to the boardroom, I was right there too,
When that overtime hit, I stayed down for you.
Dinners with your boss, smiling like it’s fine,
While I pressed ‘pause’ on the dreams that were mine.
Our baby turned one, we kissed in the light,
Turned two, now we argue more than we fight.
Why you changing…? I been patient…
I call your phone, but the line feels cold,
Just a dial tone where warmth once rolled.
Baby laughing keeps me whole each day,
But your silence got a price I pay.
Talkin’ to strangers while I’m home alone,
In our bed, that used to feel like throne.
That ain’t love… That’s betrayal…
Is there a chance…?
That we can fix what we got, re‑spark that shot…
Can we rebuild…?
Can the good outweigh the bad, are we just too far back?
Don’t fade away… don’t fade away…
Do you value this love?
Do you even know what you’ve done?
If this is love…
Then prove it ain’t pain dressed up as trust.
If this is love…
Then why I feel lonely more than enough?
If this is love…
Then meet me halfway, or let me breathe…
Show me you care… Don’t just say the word love, live it… Yeah…
If this is love… you’d show me the ring, not bluffing.
If this is love…
