[Intro]
I wanna know the truth
Even if it hurt-hurts me (Hurts me, hurts me)
I wanna know the truth
Even if it hurt-hurts me (Hurts me, hurts me)
[Verse 1]
I got a vision keepin' me up at night (Up at night)
My intuition's tellin' me things ain't right (Things ain't right)
[Pre-Chorus]
Can't look in the mirror, what is it you're tryna hide?
Can't give me your password to your phone, not start a fight
You're treating me different, tell me what's goin' through your mind?
You're acting so distant, who you see when you close your eyes?
[Chorus]
I wanna know the truth
Even if it hurt-hurts me (Hurts me, hurts me)
I wanna know the truth
Even if it hurt-hurts me (Hurts me, hurts me)
Show me the fire, show me the flames
Don't try to hide it, spare me the pain
I wanna know the truth
Even if it hurt-hurts me (Hurts me, hurts me)
[Verse 2]
My father told me, "The truth will set you free" (Set you free)
I read your history, now it makes sense to me (Sense to me)
[Pre-Chorus]
I look in the mirror, see someone who's coming strong
I've never been clearer, I'm at peace with moving on
I'm seeing it different now that I'm outside of the storm
I'm feeling the distance, it's always dark before the dawn
[Chorus]
I wanna know the truth
Even if it hurt-hurts me (Hurts me, hurts me)
I wanna know the truth
Even if it hurt-hurts me (Hurts me, hurts me)
Show me the fire, show me flames
Don't try to hide it, spare me the pain (Spare me the pain)
I wanna know the truth
Even if it hurt-hurts me (Hurts me, hurts me)
[Outro]
The person you're trying to reach is unavailable
Hey babe, where are you?
I can't get a hold of you
We really should talk
Where are you?
