True Love Lyrics

For a second, I was in control
I had it once, I lost it though
And all along the fire below would rise

And I wish you could have let me know
What's really going on below
I've lost you now, you let met go but one last time

Tell me you love me, if you don't then lie, oh 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

So tell me you love me, if you don't then lie, oh lie to me
Just tell me you love, if you don't then lie, oh lie to me
If you don't then lie, oh lie to me
And call it true, call it True Love
Call it true, call it true love

True Love

Coldplay's Ghost Stories album was inspired by the disintegration of lead singer Chris Martin's marriage to Gwyneth Paltrow, his wife of 11 years. This song finds Martin missing the passion they had at the beginning of their relationship and questioning if she still loves him. During an interview with BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe, Martin was asked directly by the DJ whether the subject of the album was the breakdown of his relationship, Martin responded, "I wouldn't use the word breakdown, this was more a realization about trying to grow up basically."

The song was produced by Timbaland, who is best known for his work for R&B and hip-hop artists. The American was one of three guest producers who worked on Ghost Stories along with Avicii and Madeon.

The Jonas Škerlund-directed feel-good video was shot in Los Angeles. The director previously worked with Coldplay on their clip for "Magic."

The visual depicts two misfits in inflatable bodysuits who both love ballet. Canadian actress Jessica Lucas (Cloverfield, Pompeii) plays an aspiring ballet dancer whose large body prevents her from realizing her dreams, whilst Chris Martin portrays a mild-mannered janitor at a theater housing the dancing.
