My True Love
Eurythmics · Boxed [2005]
My true love is sitting on a pile of stones
And he's wondering to himself
Oh where did I go wrong?
My true love has found himself alone
And he's sorry for it all
And for the hurt we've done
And I've given more than I can take
Fallen for the same mistake
Promises were made to break
What will save us now?
And I don't want to remember
And I don't want to remember
My true love is a saccharine kind of pill
That tastes too sweet for words
And cannot be fulfilled
My true love is a dangerous china cup
With all the broken pieces
That cannot be picked up
Now all the colours left to run
All the dreams have been undone
Love has left me standing here
Raging at the sun
And I don't want to remember
And I don't want to remember
And he's wondering to himself
Oh where did I go wrong?
My true love has found himself alone
And he's sorry for it all
And for the hurt we've done
And I've given more than I can take
Fallen for the same mistake
Promises were made to break
What will save us now?
And I don't want to remember
And I don't want to remember
My true love is a saccharine kind of pill
That tastes too sweet for words
And cannot be fulfilled
My true love is a dangerous china cup
With all the broken pieces
That cannot be picked up
Now all the colours left to run
All the dreams have been undone
Love has left me standing here
Raging at the sun
And I don't want to remember
And I don't want to remember

Released on the 2005 reissue album Boxed, 'My True Love' stands as a poignant song in the discography of Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart. The track exemplifies the duo's signature blend of new wave and electronic pop, characterized by Lennox's distinctive vocal delivery and Stewart's atmospheric production.
