True Love
Destinee & Paris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We were like one, you and I
Yeah we were perfect
Thought we could fly
We used to laugh
For you I'd die
Stuck in a fairytale, I need to come alive

I'm feeling stupid, I saw the signs
And now I stand here with watered eyes
We were like one, you and I
I can't believe that I lived a lie

But it's something that you said
Took my heart away
Now get out of my head
Leave - just go away
This can't be true love, whoa
This can't be true love, no
We can't take it back, time to let it go
No more holding on
Oh you got to know
This can't be true love, whoa
This can't be true love, no

I was your Bonnie, you were my Clyde
We were inseparable, you let me hide
This song kept playing, it wouldn't stop
The party's over, I think I've had enough

I'm feeling stupid, I shoulda' known
And now I'm standing here all alone
What ever happened to you and I?
I can't believe that I lived a lie

But it's something that you said
Took my heart away
Now get out of my head
Leave - just go away
This can't be true love, whoa
This can't be true love, no
We can't take it back, time to let it go
No more holding on
Oh you got to know
This can't be true love, whoa
This can't be true love, no

Ladies, can you hear me?
This can't be love!
All my 'fellas, can you feel me?
This can't be love!
If you're feelin' kind of empty
This can't be love!
Scream it loud and sing it with me!
This can't be love!

Something that you said
Took my heart away
Now get out of my head
Leave - just go away
This can't be true love, whoa
This can't be true love, whoa

We can't take it back, time to let it go
No more holding on
Oh, you gotta know
This can't be true love, whoa
This can't be true love, no
Whoa
No, this can't be love
This can't be true love
(Ttrue love, whoa, whoa)
This can't be true love, no




No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no

Overall Meaning

The song "True Love" by Destinee & Paris is a heart-wrenching ballad about a once-perfect relationship that has turned sour. The verses are reminiscent of the fairy tale love stories we all grew up hearing about, where the couple is inseparable and blissfully happy. But the chorus takes a dark turn, as the singer realizes that this can't be true love because of something that was said that took her heart away. She implores her partner to leave and move on because they can't take back what's been said and it's time to let go.


The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship that was built on a fairytale foundation but has crumbled due to something that was said or done. The singer is feeling foolish for not recognizing the signs earlier and is lamenting the loss of what she once thought was true love. The song ends with a chorus of voices declaring that this can't be love and imploring others to join in on the refrain.


Line by Line Meaning

We were like one, you and I
We were perfectly in sync, like two halves of a whole


Yeah we were perfect
We were flawless together, nothing could come between us


Thought we could fly
We believed we were invincible and could conquer anything together


We used to laugh
We shared joyful moments full of laughter and happiness


For you I'd die
I was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for you if needed


Stuck in a fairytale, I need to come alive
I was living in a dream world, but now I need to face reality and move on


I'm feeling stupid, I saw the signs
I feel foolish for not seeing the warning signs earlier


And now I stand here with watered eyes
I am now in tears because of the hurt and betrayal I feel


I can't believe that I lived a lie
I cannot come to terms with the fact that our love was not genuine


But it's something that you said
Your words have had a powerful impact on me and changed everything


Took my heart away
Your words had a strong emotional effect and broke my heart


Now get out of my head
I am trying to forget about you and move on from the pain


Leave - just go away
I now need you to leave my life completely and never look back


This can't be true love, whoa
Our love was not real, it was a facade


We can't take it back, time to let it go
We cannot undo what has been done, it is time for us to move on


No more holding on
I am no longer holding on to hope for our relationship


Oh you got to know
It is important for you to understand and accept that it is over


I was your Bonnie, you were my Clyde
We were partners in crime with a deep connection and loyalty to each other


We were inseparable, you let me hide
We had a bond that could not be broken, and you gave me shelter from the world


This song kept playing, it wouldn't stop
Our love story was on repeat, and we were living in the past


The party's over, I think I've had enough
Our love story has come to an end, and I am ready to move on


I'm feeling stupid, I shoulda' known
I feel foolish for not realizing the truth sooner


What ever happened to you and I?
I am questioning how our love story came to an end so suddenly


Ladies, can you hear me?
The singer is addressing her female audience


All my 'fellas, can you feel me?
The singer is addressing her male audience


If you're feelin' kind of empty
If you can relate to the feelings expressed in the song


This can't be love!
Our love was not genuine


Scream it loud and sing it with me!
The singer is encouraging her audience to sing along and release their emotions


No, this can't be love
Our love was not true


True love, whoa, whoa
This is a title reference to the song itself


No, no, no, no
I do not want to continue to live a lie with this person who I thought I loved

This song really embodies the 2010 pop sound.

J2 Kay

Christopher Regan

Yeah, it has the same structure and BPM as a whole bunch of other hits from the likes of Katy Perry, Aly & AJ, Carly Rae Jepsen and Kesha, who were all popular during that time.

Was 14 and obsessed with this song , now in 2021 at 24 the lyrics randomly came into my head so I had to come back here and celebrate this underrated song!

Rosette

When I was little I used to listen to this alllllll the time and here I am like 5 years later still listening. I wish they would release more music, I think they would've been a hit if try continued their music career😢

Kahrah Noel
