Verity

Текст песни

[Verse 1] You left the kettle by the sink A ring of water on the wood I read the note until the ink Could not explain what silence could [Pre-Chorus] I counted every careful word The ones you said, the ones you spared Truth is not always what we heard Sometimes it waits inside the air [Chorus] Give me the truth without the armor No polished answer, no alibi If it can break us, let it break us I’d rather know than learn to lie Give me the truth, however bitter I’ll hold the pieces in both hands Love is not built from clean omissions It stands where honesty can stand [Verse 2] Your blue coat hangs behind the door Still carrying the smell of rain I found the key beneath the floor And understood the shape of pain [Pre-Chorus] We made a home of half a word And called the quiet compromise But every promise left unheard Was waiting underneath our lives [Chorus] Give me the truth without the armor No polished answer, no alibi If it can break us, let it break us I’d rather know than learn to lie Give me the truth, however bitter I’ll hold the pieces in both hands Love is not built from clean omissions It stands where honesty can stand [Bridge] I am not asking you to stay I am not asking to be right Just put the real thing on the table And let it live beneath the light [Final Chorus] Give me the truth without the armor No polished answer, no alibi If it can break us, let it break us I’d rather know than learn to lie Give me the truth, however bitter I’ll hold the pieces in both hands Whatever ends beyond this moment At least we’ll know where we both stand [Outro] The kettle cools beside the sink The room is quiet, but it’s clear Somewhere between the word and meaning The truth has finally made it here
