All I Have
LP Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A gun to the head you made your bed and you can't stop the ghosts
I was wrong when I lied
I was going to tell you
I was wrong, we were young
And I can't forget you
I had a dream last night and you were walking all alone
I couldn't reach you and you slipped away into the crowd
Now all I have is a photo of you smiling at me
All I want is you here with me and I'll be happy
Hey close the door I'm waiting for the light to knock it down
They say experience will recompense what you lost today
I was wrong when I lied
I was going to tell you
I was wrong we were young
And I'll never forget you
[Chorus]
Oh I'd do anything
Oh to have you here again
[Chorus]
The song “All I Have” by LP is an emotional and mournful ballad that deals with love, loss, and regret. The lyrics “Hold on another time is waiting for us someplace close, A gun to the head you made your bed and you can't stop the ghosts” suggest that the singer is dealing with the aftermath of a self-inflicted tragedy. It seems that someone close to them has passed away, possibly as a result of suicide, and they are struggling with the pain of losing them. The phrase “a gun to the head you made your bed and you can't stop the ghosts” could also be interpreted as a metaphor for the inner demons that the person was dealing with before their death.
The chorus of the song “I had a dream last night and you were walking all alone, I couldn't reach you and you slipped away into the crowd, Now all I have is a photo of you smiling at me, All I want is you here with me and I'll be happy” further emphasizes the loss and yearning for the person who has left. It’s clear that the singer is consumed with regret for not being able to reach the person and save them from the tragedy. The photo of the person smiling at them is a reminder of the good times they shared and the fact that the person will never be able to smile at them again.
Overall, LP's "All I Have" is a poignant and moving song that captures the pain and heartbreak of losing someone close. The lyrics and melody combine to create a haunting and melancholic atmosphere that is both beautiful and saddening.

I love LPs songwriting, her amazing voice and brilliant musicianship. Following the heartbroken thread that runs through her latest songs I find myself resenting and getting a little angry that anyone could have hurt her on her life. Does that happen to any other listeners out there? Is that just me? I know pain often informs an artist's heart - but I wish for only the greatest joy, peace, gratification and fulfillment to a gorgeous and gifted woman. Good luck to LP for her continued, deserved success. DL.

Algún día escuché esta canción y siempre pregunté ¿quien la cantaba? solo la oí dos veces y jamás supe de esta canción hasta que en septiembre del 2019 escuché "Lost on you" y me encantó, así que empecé a investigar quién la cantaba y supe que era Laura Pergolizzi, LP inexplicablemente me fascinó su voz y sus canciones, fuí escuchando una por una hasta que encontré la canción que me había súper gustado All I have, y muchas más que escuche en la radio pero que me gustaban pero no sabía quién las cantaba.
LP tiene una voz que enamora. Todos los días la escucho.
