Was It Really Love

[Verse 1]
I saw her there beside the wall
My heartache began as I recall
when she spoke to me

someone there in her eye
Someone I thought I could despise
‘cause her love was all I wanted

[Chorus]
Was it really love
please tell me
Was it really love
That broke me into pieces
now, was it really love

[Verse 2]
As she spoke to me I found
Our true love could not be bound
because another held the key

Spoken for, a love destroyed
She wanted out, he wanted more
she found a way,
she went through me

[Chorus]
Was it really love
please tell me
Was it really love
That broke me into pieces
now was it really love

[Bridge]
My life of love had just begun
When he came he shot his gun
And just like that my love ended...

She ran from him, she ran from me
Nothing left but misery
A broken heart,
two broken men
a love destroyed
was not the plan

[Final Chorus]
Was it really love
please tell me
Was it really love
That broke me into pieces
was it really love
was it really love
was it really love
was it really love

This song is based on a true story from my past. It happened many years ago when I was young and restless. Despite the tragic overtones of the bridge no one was physically hurt other than my feelings and the back window of my car.
