Musiq Soulchild & Hit-Boy – is it love, is it lies Lyrics

 

is it love, is it lies Lyrics

 

Still wrong even when I’m right
Once ain’t enough, you need to hear it twice
It’s a world war when it ain’t even worth the fight
You’d rather done choked before swallowing your pride
I, so I wanna know

Is it love, is it lies?
Do you even know anymore?
Am I yours, are you mine?
Who you doing this all for?
Is it pure, is it right?
Is it shade, is it light?
Tell me if it’s real ’cause
If it ain’t, then why?
What we doing?

Ay, tell me what I’m missing
I try to talk but you don’t wanna listen
It gets awkward, that’s why I keep my distance
So let’s address all of this ‘fore we get to far for us to reconcile
You running game, girl, you arguing for exercise
Ay, what you on? This confusion won’t be televised
Who you performing for? All you do is fantasize
While you try to convince me everything is alright

But is it love, is it lies?
Do you even know anymore?
Am I yours, are you mine?
Who you doing this all for?
Is it pure, is it right?
Is it shade, is it light?
Tell me if it’s real ’cause
If it ain’t, then why?
What we doing?

Is it love, is it lies?
Is it love, is it lies, lies?
Is it love, is it lies?
Is it love, is it lies, lies?
Oh, is it love, oh, is it lies?
Oh, is it love, oh, is it lies, lies?
Is it love, is it lies?
Is it love, oh, is it lies, lies?

Is it love, is it lies?
I wanna know, oh

Two 4-letter words, both share L and Es
The I-S and O-V really ain’t up to me
See, I’m at the mercy of what you show me, love
I don’t know where you’ve been
And you don’t know me, love
Are you proof of the prize before my eyes or
The truth that lies behind the lies?
Guarded and scarred, not knowing who you are
Or are you fully aware and should be respectfully fair?
Not out of reverence or cowardice
Rendered powerless
Victimized by your villainous prowesses
No, but as a worthy adversary
Where the pain is imminent and the danger isn’t imaginary
Which one you are will be a constant revelation
This is the quintessential motion of relationships
Will you be the love I covet that mirrors my own
Or yet another lie confirming why I stay willfully alone?
