What Is It? (Is It Love)

They would treat you right 

at least that's what they said 

but still you feel sheltered

and you even feel alone

when they're right next to you in bed

is this love 

is this love 

always having to say you're sorry

is this love that you're feeling

not according to Bob Marley

so please don't blame love 

when you saw an illusion 

that gave you a false sense of security

and put you in a state of confusion

it happens to the best of us

you put your cards on the table

but they weren't playing with a full deck

so they never deserved the label 

of the one that had your heart

although they may deserve the finger

then again it's best to move on

you cannot let those feelings linger 

but you want to know now 

if you could ever love again

just remember it was their loss

and you without them is a win

keep that love you have for yourself

it will help you let go of your fears 

then it won't matter if it's just you for now

because that love never disappears
