The Thing About The Truth
Navigating Love's Uncertainties: The Thing About The Truth by Jake Anderson
Lyrics
You want to know about my dad
You inquire about my father
Why I don't call him for advice
I avoid seeking his advice
And conversations with my friends
Discussing moments with friends
When we stay out all night
Extended nights out with friends
You wonder what I'm thinking
You're curious about my thoughts
On those drives I take alone
Reflecting during solitary drives
Would I lead a different life
Contemplating an alternate life
If you weren't waiting there at home
Speculating if my life would change without you
Theres a chance that it'll hurt you
Potential for the truth to cause pain
Or it'll set you free
Or to bring liberation
It could make a feeling stronger
Truth may intensify emotions
Or make you see things differently
Alter one's perspective
It could tear old love apart
Truth might damage old love
Or make it feel brand new
Or rejuvenate it
Yeah, I'm scared to let you in
Apprehension about letting you in
Cause I'm scared of losing you
Fear of losing you
Thats the thing about the truth
Summary reflection on truth
I never hold you like i should
Regret for not holding you properly
When were lying here in bed
Inadequate expression in bed
And I know all these things I'm thinking
Unspoken thoughts versus spoken words
Should be all the things I've said
The desire to reveal past experiences
I wanna let tell you bout my past
Delay in expressing love reasons
Why I love you took so Long
Lack of courage for potential consequences
But I ain't brave like that
Fear of everything going wrong
When it could all go wrong
Risks associated with truth
Cause, Theres a chance that it'll hurt you
Potential to cause pain or provide freedom
Or it'll set you free
Impact on emotions and perceptions
It could make a feeling stronger
Transformation of love
Or make you see things differently
Changing perspectives
It could tear old love apart
Risk of breaking old love
Or make it feel brand new
Or making it feel new
Yeah, I'm scared to let you in
Apprehension about opening up
Cause I'm scared of losing you
Fear of potential loss
Thats the thing about the truth
Reiteration of the complexity of truth
Thats the thing about the truth
Reaffirmation of the truth's nature
Theres a chance that it'll hurt you
Repetition of potential outcomes of truth
Or it'll set you free
Reiteration of impact on emotions
It could make a feeling stronger
Reiteration of truth's influence on feelings
Or make you see things differently
Repetition of changing perspectives
It could tear old love apart
Repetition of potential effects on love
Or make it feel brand new
Repetition of making love feel new
Yeah, I'm scared to let you in
Reiteration of fear of vulnerability
Cause I'm scared of losing you
Reiteration of fear of losing you
Thats the thing about the truth
Summary reflection on the nature of truth
Thats the thing about the truth
Reaffirmation of truth's nature
Thats the thing about the truth
Final statement on the truth's complexity
