The Truth Is
Charice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I told myself the moment wasn't right
No one wants to be the one who says it first
But I been keeping it inside
A secret for so long it hurts
The truth is
That I love you
If you love me too
The truth is
That I want you completely
So if you love me too
I need to know from you
What the truth is
Trying to look behind your eyes
I been trying to read between unspoken lines
We keep dancing round and we don't know what's real
Can't let the music end before we can find
A way to say the things we feel
The truth is
That I love you
And I need to know from you
If you love me too
The truth is
That I want you completely
So if you love me too
I need to know from you
What the truth is
I thought I could just walk away
That you might be a passing flame
I told myself I wouldn't care
If you weren't there but
The truth is
That I love you
And I need to know from you
If you love me too
The truth is
That I want you completely
So if you love me too
I need to know from you
What the truth is
