[Chorus]
True blue, you was always true blue
And I always was true to the true blue
True blue, you was always true blue
And I always was true to the true blue
[Verse 1]
I tried to bite my tongue, I tried to bite my cum, I tried to bite it down
I hold it deep within like that shit wouldn't ooz out, like who's out of the closet?
She's not your typical cum deposit, used to daydream, used to think my mind's eye was really blue
True blue, but it's brown, it's always been brown
Used to cry about it, why was I so much like my father?
Used to lie about it, bleach my hair and sigh about it
Channeling my inner me on the outside, still looking like you
How can I defend something I've never read? How can I read you when your palm's so sweaty?
They slip through my life, so ready to be ready to leave you
But I held on because I needed proof, yes, I loved you, but what I knew of love was something only my childhood could produce
I didn't know love, I knew abuse, so your love felt good to me, and even when I think about you I don't feel lonely
I don't want it back but I believe you, I believe you, I believe what you knew
And for that I forgive you, I forgive you, I forgive what you knew
[Chorus]
True blue, you was always true blue
And I always was true to the true blue
True blue, you was always true blue
And I always was true to the true blue
True blue, you was always true blue
And I always was true to the true blue
True blue, you was always true blue
And I always was true to the true blue
[Verse 2]
And I hope you know if there was a moment in time I see you out
I hope you look lighter, I hope you feel stronger
If you fly I'd wave you along, cheering my human brother You've come broken out of the shell like a snake shedding the thick skin that only comes with some thick sin
Some big wins and some chosen kin
Batter me with your battery, kiss on me with your olive branch
I'll do the dance to get my chance to let you go, to the point if we meet again, I've never met you before
And therefore we're just strangers in a perfect storm
No longer connected, no longer unborn
And if we meet then, I don't want you
I just want you to know it's a beautiful thing that we went in and out of eclipsing
[Chorus]
True blue, you was always true blue
And I always was true to the true blue
True blue, you was always true blue
And I always was true to the true blue
True blue, you was always true blue
And I always was true to the true blue
True blue, you was always true blue
And I always was true to the true blue
[Post-Chorus]
True blue, true, true, true
And I always was true, true, true
True blue, true, true, true
And I always was true, true, true
[Verse 3]
In the car back from Coachella you told me what I needed to know then
In my mind we were a novella, something forbidden that bent me back in
I had PTSD, I had anxiety attacks
I didn't know why when I saw her story, your shoes were on the corner of her laying back
It's one of those stories, anyways
What really matters is that I shattered my perception to be close to you
So now I know something forever that I'll never do
When you're a little girl, they tell you you're in a little world
They spell you into a little word, but I'm not that little
I'm not that little, I'm not that little
