Bleed In Truth

[Intro] Whispers in the quiet, heartbeats like rain I swallow the truth till it burns through my veins [Verse 1] Tia, you were a lighthouse in a storm I couldn’t outrun An echo in the hallway of a house that forgot how to hum I kept your secrets tucked inside a pocket full of ash Every mile between us felt like a map drawn with crash [Pre-Chorus] If honesty bites, I’ll take the bite and bleed I’ll tell the whole truth, even the wounds you don’t want to see [Chorus] This ache is mine, I wear it like a scar you left on my skin Tears tell the numbers of the nights we could have been I’m naming every fault, every broken plan, every lie And I’m still here, begging the truth to pull me back to you tonight [Verse 2] Riley hums a tune, a chorus without an end I hear it in the quiet, a broken, familiar friend I’ve got words I shouldn’t say, but they spill like wine Raw and reckless, the kind that shoves us out of line [Pre-Chorus] If honesty bites, I’ll take the bite and bleed I’ll tell the whole truth, even the wounds you don’t want to see [Chorus] This ache is mine, I wear it like a scar you left on my skin Tears tell the numbers of the nights we could have been I’m naming every fault, every broken plan, every lie And I’m still here, begging the truth to pull me back to you tonight [Bridge] Forgive me for the bluntness, I’m tired of the pretend If love hurts this much, maybe it’s meant to bend I’ll tell you what’s true, even if it cuts like wind That heartbreak knows your name and won’t pretend [Chorus] This ache is mine, I wear it like a scar you left on my skin Tears tell the numbers of the nights we could have been I’m naming every fault, every broken plan, every lie And I’m still here, begging the truth to pull me back to you tonight [Outro] Tell the truth, even when it breaks us both in two Tia, Riley hums still, and I’m listening through the blue
