“Truth Hits Hard”

by Robert Ramage

Intro

I kept holding on,

Hoping you’d prove me wrong—

But truth don’t bend, truth don’t hide,

It cuts straight through and burns inside.

---

Verse 1

You only stayed for what you could take,

Not for the man, not for the heart that breaks.

Every smile had a price behind it,

Every “love you” came with strings tied tight.

Verse 2

You wanted comfort, money, shine—

Never once asked if I was fine.

I fed your hunger, filled your hands,

But you never loved the soul of the man.

Verse 3

Hard fact: some love is hollow and cold,

Built on the things you can buy, rent, hold.

I tried to build something real, something true—

You just wanted what I gave, not who I gave it to.

Verse 4

But real love—

It don’t drain you dry or leave you numb.

It fills the void where the darkness comes.

It clears the cobwebs tangled deep inside,

And it stands there strong when the lies all die.

---

Chorus

Love shouldn’t feel hollow, love shouldn’t feel fake,

Love shouldn’t be something someone only takes.

When the truth hits hard, it hits like a flame—

It burns down the weak, it exposes the game.

Real love fills the spaces that pain once owned—

Fake love leaves you empty, hurting, alone.

---

Bridge

Take the gifts, take the gold, take the things you claimed—

But you can’t take my heart, you can’t touch my name.

The truth is brutal—

But it sets me free.

You wanted the world…

But you never wanted me.

---

Outro

Now I rise from the ashes of what we were,

With clearer eyes and a heart that’s sure.

Real love is coming—

I’ll know it when it hits…

Because real love fills

What fake love never fits.
