[Verse 1]
I wasn't trying
I wasn't trying to meet anyone
I wasn't dying
I wasn't dying to get heartbroken
Take my breath away
Made me feel safe
Made me escape
Made me wanna cave
I wasn't trying
I wasn't trying to meet anyone
[Chorus]
If a love can't make you, break you, shape you
Then what's love, oh
If a love can't make you, break you, shape you
Then what's love, oh
[Verse 2]
I was just playing
I was just playing the game till you won
I'm not the same
I'm not the same and I don't wish I was
Knocked me off my feet
Felt incomplete
Caught me off guard
Hands on my knees
I was just playing
I was just playing the game till you won
[Chorus]
If a love can't make you, break you, shape you
Then what's love, oh
If a love can't make you, break you, shape you
Then what's love, oh
[Bridge]
Tell me is it dangerous that you're my safety
Tell me is it bad that I'm letting you change me
I didn't want to have someone that I need
Well, if this isn't love can you tell me what love means
[Outro]
Well, if this isn't love, tell me what love means
Well, if this isn't love...
Well, if this isn't love...
Well, if this isn't love...
What’s Love was written by Clarence Clarity & Kyle Shearer & Empress Of & Nate Campany.
What’s Love was produced by Kyle Shearer.
Empress Of released What’s Love on Wed Jan 24 2024.
I was in love with a director and he was announcing his ‘for your consideration’ campaign for the Oscars. He took me up a hill and told me he wasn’t emotionally available and it kind of broke my heart.
