Coldplay的这首《True Love》通过简洁而深情的歌词表达了主人公对逝去爱情的渴望与不舍。
“For a second I was in control
I had it once I lost it though
And all along the fire below would rise”
这段歌词描述了主人公曾短暂地感觉到自己掌控了一段感情，但最终还是失去了它。内心的火焰一直在燃烧，象征着他对这份感情的执着与热情。
“I wish you could have let me know
What's really going on below
I've lost you now
You let me go but one last time
Tell me you love me”
主人公希望对方能告诉他真实的想法，即使已经失去了对方，也希望能听到一句“我爱你”。这表现出了他内心的无助和对过去美好时光的怀念。
“If you don't then lie to me lie to me
Remember once upon a time
When I was yours and you were blind
The fire would sparkle in your eyes and mine”
即使对方不爱他了，他也宁愿对方撒谎，只要能让他感受到一丝安慰。回忆起曾经的美好时光，那时两人都沉浸在爱河之中，眼中充满了火花。
“So tell me you love me
And if you don't then lie to me lie to me
Just tell me you love
If you don't then lie to me lie to me
If you don't then lie to me lie to me
And call it true call it true love
Call it true call it true love”
重复的歌词强调了主人公对爱的渴望，即使谎言也能带给他一丝安慰。他宁愿活在虚假的爱情中，也不愿面对失去对方的事实。这种情感上的矛盾与挣扎贯穿整首歌，展现了爱情中的复杂心理。
