What's Truth?

Truth be told
The truth doesn't hurt
But misunderstood truths are murderous
Cut like knives
I guess I've been running with scissors for a tongue
I miss none
Entrap all
I share some
The heart pound
The bare one
It's lost now
I severed hers
The blood found
The heart scars
The love bound
I lost all
With the truth
I felt that's how it had to be
But truth be told
Too many casualties
When truth be told to the broken
And truth be told
I pondered honesty
Wondered honestly
If you can't decipher the truth being told
When you navigate it with the pain in you
What good do we do when truth be told?
Your pain
Why'd you put it in charge of your heart?
What's truth?
Some of those lies were based on a true love for real
'Cause your pain
Your pain is a rock that covered your innocent love
That love
Once had faith in my perfect heart
My heart
Executed by an imperfect soul that lived up to my reality
But not up to your expectations
Maybe a lie would've been damage control
What's truth?
I went to war with the real me
To be the best me I knew to be for you
And lost to myself
You only saw the mistake
My mistake told you I didn't care enough
But my mistake is a misrepresentation of my heart
My heart could never speak louder than my mouth or my hands
What's truth?
Truth hurts when you're covered in pain
That means I be running with scissors
I miss none
Entrap all
I share some
The heart pound
The bare one
It's lost now
I severed hers
The blood found
The heart scars
The love bound
I lost all
What's truth?
Your pain
My dysfunction
Your dysfunction
My pain
Truth
We can't see each other's pure hearts
Through their pain-plated rock shell coverings
With our dysfunctional eyes
What's truth?
That old faith you had back in the day
Whatever your faith told you I was at first
The sparkle you discovered that one time
When you were able to see through a small crack in our issues
And caught a glance at the pureness of my heart
What's truth?
I don't believe the stories that your mistakes told me about you
Because there's more than you inside of you
And those stories were inconsistent
With the precious stone that I found in your core
I want to cherish it
Because the love you get
Should feel like naked flaws, mistakes and fears
Clothed by my protection
The love you get shouldn't hold your secrets against you
It should hold them for you
Like a human safe
Not only interested in knowing but sharing your burdens too
What's truth?
A diamond is still a diamond even when it's covered in rock
What's truth?
It doesn't cut our souls like knives
When we give ourselves time to heal before we share it
My mistake was giving it to you before you were ready
Im sorry
I see your pain now
I hear your heart now
My love is patient now
And it'll still be right here
Waiting for you to heal
Because truth be told
Your truth doesn't hurt
Because I love you
And I ain't scared of it
