Soft truth 3

Soft Truth (Extended Version)

​Verse 1

​I look into the mirror, what do I see?

A shadow of the person I used to be

We chase the wind, we run so fast

But everything we build, it fades at last

It’s a quiet whisper in the dead of night

A gentle reminder of what is right.

​Verse 2

​We build up walls made of pride and stone

Afraid to admit that we feel alone

We wear a smile like a heavy mask

But keeping it up is a hopeless task

The truth isn’t shouting, it doesn't demand

It just takes you gently right by the hand.

​Pre-Chorus

​Before the walls come crashing down

Before we lose the ground we found

Listen close, don't turn away

Hear what the silence has to say...

​Chorus

​The truth that hurts, but it is always there

It sets us straight, even when it's hard to bear

Speak the soft truth, let it set you free

The illusions of this world will never satisfy

Let the truth heal your soul, even if it's a bitter pill.

​Verse 3

​We have hidden so much behind sweet hypocrisy

Just wanting to be praised by the eyes of the crowd

But the spirit cries out in the deep silence

The inner truth never changes its face

Speak and be heard, there is no more shame

Because the truth is the only thing that changes the heart.

​Verse 4

​Lies look beautiful and smooth on the surface

But deep inside, they only rot away

We harden our lips with empty promises

Delaying the moment we accept what is real

But when the truth comes, it drives away the darkness

And the sunshine finally blazes within the heart.

​Chorus

​The truth that hurts, but it is always there

It sets us straight, even when it's hard to bear

Speak the soft truth, let it set you free

The illusions of this world will never satisfy

Let the truth heal your soul, even if it's a bitter pill.

​Verse 5

​It’s a heavy burden carrying a lie

Watching the beautiful things start to die

But the moment you speak it, the weight falls away

Like the first ray of dawn at the end of the day

It might sting for a second, it might leave a scar

But it shows you exactly right where you are.

​Verse 6

​We spent so many years running from the light

Pretending that everything wrong was alright

But the foundation cracked underneath the weight

And we realized the truth couldn't wait

It’s a beautiful breaking, a sacred release

When the war inside finally turns into peace.

​Bridge

​It’s not in the thunder, it’s not in the storm

It’s the quiet voice that keeps us warm

Know that the light always opens the way

Open your heart, there is no more hiding.

So let the rain fall and wash it away

All of the games that we used to play

Stop running in fear, let grace take over

Because an honest truth is better than a lifetime of false friends.

​Chorus

​The truth that hurts, but it is always there

It sets us straight, even when it's hard to bear

Speak the soft truth, let it set you free

The illusions of this world will never satisfy

Let the truth heal your soul, even if it's a bitter pill.

​Outro

​Just a soft whisper...

So much truth.

No more hiding in the shadows.
