If this is love   Then I will be leaving   Run so fast, run so far   So far from where you are      If this is love   My heart will be bleeding   'Cause bein' loved's like bein' drowned   I get so turned around   It's too much..      [CHORUS:]   How will I know?   How will I see, this feelin' washin' over me?   Like love - the life that steals my sight   I never beg   Don't wanna cry   Spend all my nights just wonderin' why I feel so sure   It's gonna hurt if this is love      So this is us   Not quite like I had in mind   Love is never like the movies   You're not blue, and I'm too moody      If this is love   My eyes will be breathin'   From so much joy, so much pain   Until they seem to say   There'll be change..      [CHORUS:]   How will I know?   How will I see, this feelin' washin' over me?   Like love - the life that steals my sight   I never beg   Don't wanna cry   Spend all my nights just wonderin' why I feel so sure   It's gonna hurt if this is love      Then your smile comes slowly stealin'   Takes me where you are   It lofted like a crash of thunder, that breaks through my heart   I just can't remember what my life was like before   Told me what my heart is for..      How will I know?   How will I see?       [CHORUS:]   How will I know?   How will I see, this feelin' washin' over me?   Like love - the life that steals my sight   I never beg   Don't wanna cry   Spend all my nights just wonderin' why I feel so sure   It's gonna hurt if this is love      If this is love   Then I will be leaving
