Truth Is
Navigating Love's Uncertainty: Truth Is by Tristen White
Lyrics
That smile don't mean a thing to me
The speaker is not affected by the smile of the person being referred to.
That laugh don't make me forget to breathe
The laughter of the person doesn't have a profound impact on the speaker.
And that mouth she's always running off at me
The person talks a lot, and it bothers the speaker.
Makes it easy not to text back fast
The speaker purposely delays responding to messages from the person.
Our conversations ain't the best part of my day
Conversations with the person are not the highlight of the speaker's day.
I don't obsess about the kind of love we'd make
The speaker doesn't dwell on the potential romantic aspects of their relationship.
I don't have to fight the urge to call her babe
The speaker doesn't feel the need to use affectionate terms like "babe."
And I don't wish she would see me like that
The speaker is indifferent to whether the person sees them in a certain light.
Truth is I don't know if she'd love me back
The speaker is uncertain if the person would reciprocate their feelings.
Truth is I'm afraid she won't
The speaker fears that the person may not love them back.
She knows what she wants
The person is assertive about their desires.
And I don't know if it's me
The speaker is unsure if they are the person's choice.
I don't want to let her in
The speaker is hesitant to open up emotionally.
But I don't want to let go
The speaker is conflicted between holding on and letting go.
I don't
The speaker emphasizes their emotional state of uncertainty.
I don't miss her on the nights I can't stay
The speaker doesn't feel a void when not with the person.
I don't want to prove to her that I've got what it takes
The speaker doesn't feel the need to prove their worth to the person.
She thinks I'm playing but I'm really saving face
The person misunderstands the speaker's intentions; they're preserving their pride.
Cuz if she wants it she can have it like that
The speaker is nonchalant about the person's desires; they can have it if they want.
And I don't want to be beside her when she sleeps
The speaker doesn't want to be physically close to the person during sleep.
I don't want to be the man that she sees in her dreams
The speaker doesn't want to be idealized in the person's dreams.
I don't want to be the one to give her what she needs
The speaker doesn't want the responsibility of fulfilling the person's needs.
And if she leaves I don't care if she comes back
The speaker is indifferent to the person's departure or return.
