Truth
Raelee Nikole Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

waited for your answer
as the room began to fall
i cant remember what you said at all
shattered, bruised and broken
you cracked my heart wide open
now all i do is wait for you to call
never thought you'd be the one to look at me and say
that its no use, you tried your best its better off this way
and i thought we said forever but i guess that ends today
yeah babe i thought you loved me, put no one else above me
thought happy ever after was with you
thats what i thought
but now i know the truth
you were always worth it
your eyes they were so perfect
your hands so strong when they held on to mine
you said you were sorry, then out your arms around me
now you're not here to hold me while i cry
never thought you'd be the one to look at me and say
that its now use you tried your best
its better off this way
and i thought we said forever but i guess that ends today
yeah, babe i thought you loved
put no one else above me
thought happy ever after came with you
thats what i thought but now i know
the truth is that you'd rather be alone than make this work
my friends said i'll be fine
but they don't know how much it hurts
if i had known i'd be alone and this is what you'd do
would've ran away but its too late cuz now




i know
the truth

kev in it’s clearly too good for this world. I don’t know, but I assume it’s because she wanted to rebrand herself with different music even though sometimes good music isn’t successful, which doesn’t make it bad.
