Truth or Dare
TUUSC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It settles in your bones
You feel your heart aching
It′s heavy, made of stone
So would you breathe it in
If I could tell you something
You're gambling again
The consequence is tempting
You′re playing truth or dare
You feel it when your heart breaks
It's holding back your stare
It's messing with your head
You feel it in your heartache
We′re hoping out of fear
I could tell you anything
You want to hear
I could tell you anything, I could say
That anything is everything
You want to hear
You need to hear
You′re playing truth or dare
You feel it when your heart breaks
It's holding back your stare
It′s messing with your head
You feel it in your heart ache
We're hoping out of fear
Now you′ve found your home
You share it with your ghost
If you can feel the change
You're underneath the weather babe
You′re playing truth or dare
You feel it when your heart breaks
It's holding back your stare
It's messing with your head
You feel it in your heart ache
We′re hoping out of fear
