Bravo
J. Paul Lyrics

Everybody got a story
Everyone has a personal story or experience.

I have heard so many wise ones yeah there were some nice ones but most of them were boring
I have listened to many stories, some of which were wise and some were interesting, but most of them were dull.

They talk bout being lied on, blabla but we fight on and 'that was the old me'
People talk about how they have been lied to and other irrelevant things but they move on and say that it was part of their past self.

But you don't even talk like you been sitting in the dark
You don't sound like someone who has faced adversity or gone through tough times because you don't talk about it.

That shit is fucking lonely
Going through a difficult time is isolating and can make you feel alone.

Sorry if I'm coldly
Apologizing for being blunt or unsympathetic.

But I wish you knew
However, I do wish you understood something.

You don't have to change
There is no need for you to alter who you are.

Or use a front to entertain
You don't have to pretend or act differently for someone else's entertainment.

The same old fools
The people who keep repeating the same things.

Tell me bout your pain
Share with me your difficulties or struggles.

That you wish would go away
Things that you want to get rid of or resolve.

With your fist in the sky
Metaphorically, raising your hand or fighting for something.

Cause you be telling lies
You are dishonest and not truthful.

But they're gon' aim for your heart like a bulls eye
However, people will still target and aim to hurt you emotionally.

Ahoo cross my heart and hope to die
An expression to reinforce the truth of something that they are saying.

Wait a minute, spoke a lie
Correcting themselves as they had just told a falsehood.

I don't really hope to die
Clarifying that their previous statement was an expression and not actually a desire to die.

But they aim for your heart with a dart like a bulls eye
People will target and attack your emotional well-being like it's a game or a sport.

Now your hearts open, but your lips sealed
You may be emotionally vulnerable, but you are keeping your feelings to yourself and not sharing them with anyone.

Promise is broken, no one believed
Your promise or commitment was not kept, and no one trusted you anymore.

Nooo, ooh
An expression that could signify sadness or disappointment.
