Used to think the truth was light
A path that always led me right
But shadows grew as I grew tall
Now I dont speak it all in all
As a kid I believed in truth
Like a badge of honor in my youth
Say it straight youll walk free
That was gospel talk to me
But growing up I came so find
Truth can tie or free your mind
At twentythree I learned to pause
Not every truth deserves applause
Sometimes silence holds more grace
Than words flung out in open space
I dont deal in black or white
I read the room I dim the light
(I keep it calm I keep it tight)
Its not the words but what feels right
No full truth no sweet disguise
I keep my truth behind my eyes
(Still me just more refined)
I choose the truth I leave behind
At thirty I could finally tell
Truth can build or break the spell
In quiet stares and subtle signs
Theres honesty between the lines
You dont need to bare your soul
To show a heart thats true and whole
Not a mask just more aware
Ive learned to speak with thought and care
The truth I hold I dont betray
I let it speak when its okay
I dont deal in black or white
I read the room I dim the light
(I keep it calm I keep it tight)
Its not the words but what feels right
No full truth no sweet disguise
I keep my truth behind my eyes
(Still me just more refined)
I choose the truth I leave behind
I dont deal in black or white
I read the room I dim the light
(I keep it calm I keep it tight)
Its not the words but what feels right
No full truth no sweet disguise
I keep my truth behind my eyes
(Still me just more refined)
I choose the truth I leave behind
