|
If I don't say what you want to hear
|
If I don't dress in what you want me to wear
|
If I don't think the way you do
|
I can't help it 'cause that's my truth
|
|
If my humour makes you bored
|
If my religion isn't yours
|
If my maturity doesn't fit my youth
|
I can't help it 'cause that's my truth
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
See, the truth often hurts
|
But if it's honest it's always worth it
|
Can't deny that I'm subjective
|
But no truth can be objective
|
Even though it's universal
|
It's always individual
|
My truth, your truth, his truth, her truth
|
It doesn't matter as long as it's true
|
|
If my culture is something you don't know
|
It's unfamiliar and it's uncomfortable
|
I suggest you get to know my roots
|
Before you judge me 'cause that's my truth
|
|
If your opinion is different from mine
|
If where I say go is where you draw the line
|
Even if I may not agree
|
I will accept 'cause it's your truth and it sets you free
|
|
[Chorus (x1)]
|
|
Don't you loose your truth, for whatever it's worth
|
Don't you try to compromise with your own life
|
|
[Chorus (x2)]
|
|
[Chorus fade out]
