If the Shoe Fits
Confronting Truth: If the Shoe Fits
Lyrics
My friends all say that you're deceiving me
Friends are warning the speaker that they are being deceived by someone.
And things are going on that I don't see
There are activities or situations happening that the speaker is unaware of.
I pay them no mind I love you so
The speaker disregards the warnings, expressing deep love for the person in question.
And if you're guilty then I just don't want to know.
Even if the person is guilty, the speaker prefers ignorance and doesn't want to know.
But if the shoe fits then wear it
The speaker advises confronting the truth if it applies, using the metaphor of wearing the shoe that fits.
If your mind hurts then bear it
If the person feels guilt or remorse, they should endure it.
It's your conscience to live with every day every night
Conscience is a constant companion, impacting every day and night.
If you find it hard sleeping
If struggling to sleep due to guilt, it's a consequence to face.
If you just lie there weeping
Expresses the emotional pain that may accompany wrongdoing.
If the truth hurts then the shoe fits just right.
Truth may be uncomfortable, but accepting it is necessary.
If you do wrong then it's your bill to pay
Consequences of wrongdoing must be accepted and paid for by the person responsible.
It's you there in that mirror every day
The mirror symbolizes self-reflection and accountability for one's actions.
I love you and I plan to from now on
Despite everything, the speaker plans to continue loving the person.
I just can't believe you do your daddy wrong.
The speaker finds it hard to believe that the person is betraying their trust.
But if the shoe fits then wear it
Reiteration of the advice to accept the consequences if guilty.
If your mind hurts then bear it
If the person is troubled by their actions, they should endure the mental anguish.
It's your conscience to live with every day every night
Conscience is a constant presence, impacting every day and night.
If you find it hard sleeping
If the person struggles to sleep due to guilt, it's a consequence to face.
If you just lie there weeping
Expresses the emotional pain that may accompany wrongdoing.
If the truth hurts then the shoe fits just right.
Truth may be uncomfortable, but accepting it is necessary.
If the truth hurts then the shoe fits just right
Reiteration that facing the truth, no matter how painful, is the appropriate response.
