Truth Doesn’t Wait

[Verse 1]
Truth doesn’t knock politely
It doesn’t wait its turn
It shows up in the quiet
Where the hardest lessons burn

You can build a wall of reasons
You can hide behind delay
But truth is patient in the shadows
Until it finds a way

I tried to outrun answers
That were standing in my face
Pretending every question
Would eventually erase

But the mirror doesn’t bargain
And denial doesn’t last
Truth keeps standing quietly
Until you face the past

[Pre-Chorus]
You can walk around the truth
But never through it

[Chorus]
Truth doesn’t wait
Truth doesn’t bend
Truth stands steady
At the end
When the noise disappears
And the lies evaporate
Truth doesn’t wait

[Verse 2]
I used to dodge the questions
I didn’t want to feel
But honesty arrives slowly
When the wounds become too real

And clarity is painful
But it also sets you free
Because facing what is broken
Shows you who you’re meant to be

Truth doesn’t need permission
Truth doesn’t ask for grace
It simply waits in silence
Until you see its face

[Pre-Chorus]
Denial buys you time
But never peace

[Chorus]
Truth doesn’t wait
Truth remains
When the illusion fades
And reality explains
You can delay the moment
But you can’t escape the gate
Truth doesn’t wait

[Bridge]
Sometimes freedom begins
The second you stop lying to yourself

[Final Chorus]
Truth doesn’t wait
And now I see
The hardest words I faced
Were always meant for me
When the silence finally spoke
And the mask disintegrates
Truth doesn’t wait

[Outro]
And neither do I.
