The Truth
j-ron Lyrics

Ah oh ah oh
Ad-lib sounds

Ran into an old friend yesterday
Encountered a former acquaintance

Caught me by surprise when he called my name
Took me unaware when he addressed me

He was a familiar face, from a chapter in my past
I recognized him as someone I knew from an earlier part of my life

Talked for a while, I smiled and then
Had a conversation, showing a pleasant countenance in response

Said that he was seeing somebody and
Mentioned that he was in a romantic relationship with someone

Told me this was gonna last
Asserted that the relationship would endure

Showing me her photograph
Presenting a likeness of the woman in question

And all the feelings I thought were gone
All of the emotions I believed had disappeared

Came rushing back to me at once
Swept over me abruptly and completely

Tried to smile and hide the way I felt
Attempted to grin and conceal my inner state

But I was thinking to myself
Yet my thoughts were otherwise

(Truth is) I never got over you
(Fact is) I have never moved on from you

(Truth is) Wish I was standing in her shoes
(Truth is) I desire to be experiencing what she is

(Truth is) And when it's all said and done
(Truth is) In the end

Guess I'm still I love with you
I suppose I'm still enamored with you

(Truth is) I never should have let you go
(Truth is) I should never have released you from my life

(Truth is) And it's killing me 'cause now I know
(Truth is) It's causing me distress because I am now aware

We reminisce on the way things used to be
We fondly recall how things were in the past

Shared a couple laughs, and some memories
Cherished a few moments of humor and recollections

Talked about the things that changed
Discussed the things that evolved

Some for good and some for bad
Some changed for the better, while others changed for the worse

Then he said good-bye and he paid for lunch
Eventually he departed after covering the bill

Promised that we'd always keep in touch
Made a commitment to maintain contact

Grabbed my bags and grabbed my thoughts,
Collected my luggage and my mental reflections

Walked away and that was that
Departed from the interaction to carry on with life

Now the truth is it hurts but I that the faults mine
Presently, I admit that it is painful, but I recognize that it's my fault

'Cause I let him go
Because I allowed him to depart from my life

Tried to get over it but it's messing with my mind
I attempted to move on from it, but it's still affecting me mentally

(Because I know)
(As it's already clear)

I just gotta be honest, I guess,
I simply need to be truthful, I suppose,

I-I guess, I'm still in love, in love, in love
I-am, I think, still in love, in love, in love
