true story Lyrics


Artist: Ariana Grande

 
"True Story" by Ariana Grande, part of her album "Eternal Sunshine," dives into the complexities of a toxic relationship or friendship. The song encapsulates feelings of betrayal and disappointment, revealing the pain and disillussionment that come from realizing the true nature of someone she once trusted. Grande uses the track to articulate a narrative of lies and manipulations, emphasizing her need for genuine love rather than deceitful games​. The lyrical content of "True Story" reflects Grande's confrontation with thrse harsh realities. She oscillates between roles, willing to play the villain or the bad girl if it means exposing the truth, all while calling out the lies and games of her counterpart. This duality in her portrayal underscores a larger theme of empowerment and self-preservation amidst emotional turmoil​​. Grande and Max Martin's collaboration in writing and producing the song lends it a depth that is both introspective and relatable. By sharing her personal journey through music, Grande invites listeners to reflect on their own experiences with toxic relationships, highlighting the importance of recognizing one's worth and the pursuit of authentic connections​. "True Story" is thus more than just a recounting of personal grievances; it's a declaration of Grande's refusal to be ensnared by falsehoods any longer. It symbolizes a turning point, a moment of clarity where the only path forward is one of truth and genuine love, devoid of manipulation or deceit.

true story Lyrics

true story by Ariana Grande


This is a true story about all the lies
You fantasized 'bout you and I
This is a true story about all the games
I know you play
No, this is not what I need (gimme love, love, gimme love)
Not what I want (gimme love, love, gimme love)
Ain't gonna happen to me
Gimme love, love, gimme love, love
Love, gimme love, gimme love, love
Love, love, love

I'll play the villain if you need me to
I know how this goes, yeah
I'll be the one you pay to see, play the scene
Roll the cameras, please

Turning like a dime (dime)
Wasting all their time
Sneaking like a creep in the night
But I'll play whatever part you need me to
Mm-mm-mmm

This is a true story about all the lies
You fantasized 'bout you and I
This is a true story about all the games
I know you play
No, this is not what I need (gimme love, love, gimme love)
Not what I want (gimme love, love, gimme love)
Ain't gonna happen to me
Gimme love, love, gimme love, love
Love, gimme love, gimme love, love
Love, love, love

I'll play the bad girl if you need me to
If it makes you feel better
I'll be the one you love to hate, can't relate
Too much on my plate

See it in your eyes (eyes)
You got too much time
For fun you like to pray for my demise, mm-mmm
But I'll play whatever part you need me to
And I'll be good in it too

This is a true story about all the lies
You fantasized 'bout you and I
This is a true story about all the games
I know you play
No, this is not what I need (gimme love, love, gimme love)
Not what I want (gimme love, love, gimme love)
Ain't gonna happen to me (gimme love, love, gimme love, love)
Ooh-ah (love, gimme love, gimme love, love)
Gimme love, gimme love (love, love, love)

Not what I want (gimme love, love, gimme love)
Not what I need (gimme love, love, gimme love)
Ain't gonna happen to me (gimme love, love, gimme love, love)
Gimme love, gimme love (love, gimme love, gimme love, love)
Love, love, love
