Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The truth is I haven't found another life
The truth is I miss the way we used to fight
And that's the truth
The truth is that though you never hear from me
That does not mean that I'm not thinking 'bout you constantly
It's just my pride is a condition
That has come to be
Maybe I'm not bitter from the past
I just haven't found a future yet to prove that love can last
And lately I see you behind my eyes
For every six nights that I sleep, well
I still dream about you five
Baby I can't keep living a lie
And that's the truth
I swear you'll try to find me
In the next person you meet
I promise that you'll fuck her
And you'll wish that it were me
I'm holding on to memories the way I once held on to you
And that's the truth
Maybe I'm not sorry that you're gone
I just miss the way you used to kiss things right when they were wrong
And lately I've thought we should keep in touch
But I'm far too far to touch you
I know words don't mean enough
So baby let's just leave this up to luck
And that's the truth
Lately I've been thinking of the day
When you told me there were stars between us
But you needed space
And then you went and kicked me to the curb
Like a cadaver in a ditch
You taught me life's a fucking bitch
Come to think of it
I better live
Without the truth
"The Truth" by JVP is a song that speaks directly to the heart. The artist shares his innermost thoughts and feelings about his former love interest. It is clear that even though he may not have been actively speaking to her, she is constantly on his mind. He misses their past disagreements and even seems to hold onto the hurt he may have felt from the past.
The artist even speaks about his pride being a condition that has developed within him. This could suggest that maybe he has not reached out to her because he was too prideful to do so. He admits to still dreaming about her and not being able to live a lie. He even suggests that maybe he is not bitter from their past relationship, just uncertain about finding love that will last.
These lyrics are powerful because many people have probably gone through similar experiences. Sometimes we hold onto the hurt and pain from past relationships, and we may not even know why. It is as if the artist is saying that the truth, in this case, is that we do not have any control over our hearts. Despite the fact that the relationship may have ended, they cannot help their feelings.
