Dove Cameron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Being wanted but not loved
Or loved but not wanted?
What's worse
Hearing what you wanna hear
Or hearing what's honest?
Our love's misaligned
I ignore the signs
And I don't know why
'Cause, baby, I
I saw the end when we began
You couldn't love the way I can
I tried to bargain with the stars
For more than half your heart
But you have more pieces of me than the desert has sand
And I have less pieces of you than I can hold in my hand
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What hurts
Is the one thing that you wanna do
Is the one thing that you shouldn't do
What hurts
Is knowing what's good for you
Just doesn't look good to you
Our love's misaligned
'Cause you're on my mind every night
I stretch out the time
And now I know why
'Cause, baby, I
I saw the end when we began
You couldn't love the way I can
I tried to bargain with the stars
For more than half your heart
But you have more pieces of me than the desert has sand
And I have less pieces of you than I can hold in my hand
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What's worse
Being wanted but not loved
Or loved but not wanted?
What's worse
Hearing what you wanna hear
Or hearing what's honest?
I saw the end when we began
You couldn't love the way I can
Tried to bargain with the stars
For more than half your heart
But you have more pieces of me than the desert has sand
And I have less pieces of you
Oh, I have less pieces of you than I can hold in my hand
These lyrics by Dove Cameron explore the complexities of love and the pain that can come with unbalanced relationships and unreciprocated feelings. The song touches on themes of being desired but not truly loved, or loved but not desired, and the inner conflicts that arise from these situations.
In the first verse, Dove Cameron questions what is worse - being wanted but not loved, or loved but not wanted. This highlights the dilemma of feeling wanted in a relationship, but not experiencing genuine love from the other person. On the other hand, being loved but not wanted raises the issue of someone having affection for you, but not truly desiring a deeper connection. These questions emphasize the emotional turmoil of feeling unfulfilled in a relationship.
The chorus reinforces the notion of misalignment in their love. Dove Cameron expresses how the other person occupies her thoughts every night, yet she chooses to ignore the signs that suggest the relationship may not be right for her. Despite this, she cannot explain why she continues to hold on to this connection.
In the next verse, Dove Cameron acknowledges the inevitable end of the relationship even from the beginning. She recognizes that her love and the way she can give it are not reciprocated by the other person. Her attempts to bargain with the universe or make compromises to receive more love from the other person are unsuccessful. She compares the asymmetry in their love to the imbalance between the number of pieces of her that the other person possesses compared to the amount of them she can hold in her hand. This comparison portrays a lack of equality and fulfillment in the relationship.
The repetition of the chorus further emphasizes the pain and conflict that arise from being with someone who may not truly love or desire you. Dove Cameron questions again what is worse - hearing what you want to hear but not receiving honesty, or hearing the truth even when it may not be what you want to hear. This heightens the inner turmoil and confusion that come with navigating love and the choices one has to make.
In summary, these lyrics delve into the challenges of unbalanced and unreciprocated love. Dove Cameron contemplates the complexities of being wanted but not loved, or loved but not wanted, and the pain that comes with hearing what you want to hear versus hearing the truth. Ultimately, the lyrics emphasize the frustrating realization that the love they share is misaligned, leaving one person with more pieces of the other than they have in return.

I saw the end when we began
I could see our relationship's inevitable end from the very start
You couldn't love the way I can
You were unable to love with the same depth and intensity as I can
I tried to bargain with the stars
I attempted to negotiate or plead with the universe or fate
For more than half your heart
To have more of your love and commitment
But you have more pieces of me than the desert has sand
But you possess more fragments or parts of me than there are grains of sand in the desert
And I have less pieces of you than I can hold in my hand
And I possess fewer fragments or parts of you than I can physically grasp in my hand
