Cam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Most of them, I built with you
Now the dust no longer moves
Don′t disturb the ghost of you, mmm
They are empty, they are worn
Tell me what we built this for
On my way to something more
And I'm gonna miss you
And I'm still there
Sometimes I wish we never built this palace
But real love is never a waste of time, mmm
Yeah, I know just what you′re saying
I regret ever complaining
About this heart and all its breaking
It was beauty we were making, mmm
And I know we′ll both move on
You'll forgive what I did wrong
They will love the better you
But I still own the ghost of you, mmm
I′m gonna miss you
And I'm still there
Oh, sometimes I wish we never built this palace
But real love is never a waste of time, mmm
And I′m gonna miss you
And I'm still there
Oh, sometimes I wish that we never built this palace
But real love is never a waste of time
Oh no, real love is never a waste of time
The song "Palace" by Cam is an emotional and introspective exploration of past love and what it takes to move on. The opening lines, "My head is filled with ruins, Most of them, I built with you" convey the idea that the singer's mind is filled with memories of their past relationship, most of which they built with their former partner. The "dust" in the line "Now the dust no longer moves, Don't disturb the ghost of you" signifies that time has passed and the relationship is over, but the memories and emotions still linger. The singer is urging themselves not to disturb these memories and let go of the past.
The next lines "They are empty, they are worn, Tell me what we built this for, On my way to something more, You're that one I can't ignore" reveal that the singer is questioning the purpose of the relationship and whether it was worth it. They are moving on with their life but still can't ignore their former partner. The chorus "And I'm gonna miss you, And I'm still there, Oh, sometimes I wish we never built this palace, But real love is never a waste of time" sums up the emotions of the song, the singer misses their former partner but acknowledges that their love was real and that it wasn't a waste of time.
The second verse brings a new element to the song, the idea of regret. The singer regrets complaining about their heart and its breaking because they now realize that the beauty they were making with their former partner was worth it. The lines "And I know we'll both move on, You'll forgive what I did wrong, They will love the better you, But I still own the ghost of you" show that the singer has hope that both they and their former partner will move on, but they still hold onto the memories and the ghost of their former partner.

It's a shame that she doesn't catch more attention. Her voice is different, beautiful, and she can actually sing.

Absolutely love how raw she is... makes you just stop and think about that one person who you gave your heart to, lost your heart to and never regretted one minute...because real love is never wasted time.
