Coulda Been Love Lyrics – Druski, Yung Bleu, Young M.A

Coulda Been Love Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The intro sets the mood of the song, with the artist reflecting on a failed relationship. The voicemail message suggests that communication has broken down, and the person he’s trying to reach is avoiding him. He once believed it was love, but things didn’t go as expected. Instead of dwelling on the past, he’s ready to move forward and share his perspective on how things should have been. It’s a mix of regret and acceptance, showing that not every relationship works out the way we hope.

[Chorus]
The chorus expresses longing and nostalgia for a past relationship. The artist misses how his ex used to carry herself and admits he still desires what they once had. He wonders if it was really love or just something that could have been. The repetition of “coulda been love” highlights the idea that the relationship had potential but never fully worked out, leaving him with unanswered questions and lingering emotions.

[Verse 1]
In this verse, the artist talks about seeing an attractive woman but realizing she’s not interested in him—she’s into Druski instead. He acknowledges how quickly people switch up in relationships, making it easy to lose someone when you’re not paying attention. He also throws a jab at his ex, saying she’s now with someone who isn’t as good as him. However, she’s starting to realize her mistake and is looking for someone better again. Instead of focusing on the past, he’s looking toward the future, implying that he’s not waiting around for her to come back.

[Chorus]
Again, the chorus reinforces the theme of regret and lost love. The artist reflects on how good things used to be and wishes he could go back to those moments. He questions whether what they had was real love or just something that could have been meaningful but never fully developed. The repetition of “coulda been love” shows that he’s still thinking about the possibilities of what their relationship might have been.

[Verse 2]
In this verse, Young M.A talks about her ability to spoil a woman with expensive gifts and lavish trips. She sees herself as someone who has grown financially and emotionally, making her a better option than other men. She describes her attraction to a particular woman, complimenting her looks and confidence. However, despite the chemistry, she realizes the woman is also interested in Druski, which makes her step back. She doesn’t let herself be played and makes it clear that she’s not someone who gets fooled easily. In the end, she acknowledges that the relationship had potential, but the woman’s unfaithfulness ruined it. The verse highlights themes of attraction, material success, and the difficulty of finding genuine love.

[Chorus]
Once again, the chorus emphasizes the feeling of loss and what could have been. The artist still thinks about his past relationship and misses the connection they shared. He struggles with the idea that love was almost there, but circumstances got in the way. The repetition drives home the emotional weight of realizing that something special slipped through his fingers.
