Please ft J-Silas
T.R.U.T.H Lyrics

So you never knew love
You have never known what it means to love someone.

Until you crossed the line of grace
Until you did something that could be considered morally wrong or sinful.

Then you never felt wanted
You did not feel wanted or needed by anyone.

'Till you had someone slap your face
Until someone physically harmed you or treated you badly, you did not realize your worth.

So you never felt alive
You have not experienced the feeling of being truly alive.

Until you almost wasted away
Until you were close to dying or experienced something traumatic, you did not feel truly alive.

You had to win
You had to be successful and win at all costs.

You couldn't just pass
You could not just settle for mediocrity or average.

The smartest ass
You had to prove that you were the smartest or most capable person in the room.

At the top of the class
You had to be the best at everything you did.

Your flying colors
You achieved everything with flying colors.

Your family tree
The history of your family and their achievements.

And all your lessons in history
All the lessons you learned from the past and the mistakes of others.

Please
I am asking you a favor.

Please
I am pleading with you.

Please
I implore you to listen to me.

Get up off your knees
Stop begging and start standing up for yourself.

Please
I am asking you again.

Please
I am pleading with you again.

Please
I am begging you to listen to me again.

Please
I am begging you for mercy.

So you never knew
You did not know something important.

How low you'd stoop to make that call
You did not realize how far you were willing to go to get what you want.

And you never knew
You did not know something important.

What was on the ground 'till they made you crawl
You did not realize how little you mattered until someone made you feel small or insignificant.

So you never knew that
You did not know something important.

The heaven you keep you stole
You took something valuable from someone or something without realizing it.

Your catholic blues
Your religious upbringing and beliefs are causing you distress and confusion.

Your convent shoes
Your religious upbringing and beliefs are restricting your freedom and individuality.

Your stick on tattoos
Your attempts to be unique and individualistic are superficial and meaningless.

Now they're making the news
Your actions have become newsworthy or public knowledge.

Your holy war
Your religious beliefs are causing you to fight a battle or war with others.

Your northern star
Your guiding principle or motivation.

Your sermon on the mount
Your attempt to teach others about your beliefs and values.

From the booth of your car
From the privacy of your own space, you are preaching and judging others.

So love is hard and love is tough
Love can be difficult and challenging.

But love is not what you're thinking of
The love you are seeking or expecting is not what love truly is.

September
A time or moment in the past.

Streets capsizing
The world around you is changing and unstable.

Spilling over
The emotions you are experiencing cannot be contained.

Down the drain
The happiness and joy you once felt are disappearing.

Shards of glass splinters like rain
The pain and hurt you feel is sharp and intense, like broken glass.

But you could only feel
You were only able to experience a certain feeling.

Your own pain
The pain you are feeling is your own and cannot be shared or understood by others.

October
A time or moment in the past.

Talking getting nowhere
The discussions you are having are not leading to any solutions or progress.

November
A time or moment in the past.

December
A time or moment in the past.

Remember
I want you to remember something important.

Are we just starting again
Are we repeating the same mistakes or patterns again?

So love is big, bigger than us
Love is a powerful force that transcends us.

But love is not what your thinking of
The love you are seeking or expecting is not what love truly is.

It's what lovers deal
Love is something that lovers face and handle together.

It's what lovers steal
Love is something that lovers take from each other.

You know I've found it hard to receive
You know that I have struggled to accept or receive love.

'Cause you my love I could never believe
Because of how you have treated me, I find it hard to believe that you love me.
