True Love
Dove Cameron Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I could do it all over, baby I'd do it different
Maybe I wouldn't be here, in this position

I found you and I lost you, looking back is torture
And it hurts to know I let you go, you live right around the corner

And I could've had it all, could've had it all
True love, I know I had it
True love, was so hard to find
True love, If I could get it back, yeah
I'd never let it go this time

True love, is an inspiration
True love, it was mine oh mine
True love, If I could get it back, yeah
Never let it go, I'd never let it go this time

Feeling it all around me, wondering how I blew it
And I wanna know the secret, of how they, do it

There's no such thing as perfection, I'm still learning that lesson

To forgive is key to forgetting me
And I'm staring at my reflection

And I could've had it all, could've had it all

True love, I know I had it
True love, was so hard to find
True love, If I could get it back, yeah
I'd never let it go this time

True love, is an inspiration
True love, it was mine oh mine
True love, If I could get it back, yeah
Never let it go, I'd never let it go this time

If I knew then what happened, now I'd be with you tonight
If I knew then what I'd do now we'd be alright

And I could've had it all, could've had it all

True love, I know I had it
True love, was so hard to find
True love, If I could get it back, yeah
Never let it go this time

True love, is an inspiration
True love, it was mine oh mine
True love, If I could get it back, yeah
If only I could get it back, yeah

True love, I'd never let it go
True love, it was mine oh mine
True love, I could've had it, could've had it, could've had it all

True love, is an inspiration
True love, it was mine oh mine
True love, yeah
If I could get it back, yeah. I'd never let it go this time
I'd never let it go, this time
