if this is love

Ingrid Michaelson

I ve waited every day to feel the way I feel
Knots in my stomach, the kind that never heal
Butterflies that fly in me and never seem to go away
Sick to my stomach when I think about his face
But in a good way, in a way I can t replace
Nothing can stop this, it s almost like a hurricane

If this is love, I m not ready
If this is love, why am I so unsteady?
If this is love, why did no one tell me
the pain that I would feel?
If this is love, maybe I m ready
How do I know, I m in my head again
If this is love, I think I m in it
If this is, if this is, if this is love

The world around me says, No, but I say, Yes
I want to scream it out, instead it s stuck inside my chest
It s lik? a bird in a rage, in a cage
And nobody wants to free me

If this is lov?, I m not ready
If this is love, why am I so unsteady?
If this is love, why did no one tell me
the pain that I would feel?
If this is love, maybe I m ready
How do I know, I m in my head again
If this is love, I think I m in it
If this is, if this is, if this is love

I think I m in it, and in-between it
And upside down, and inside out
I think I m in it, and in-between it
And upside down

If this is, if this is
If this is, if this is
If this is, if this is
If this is love
