Lyrics Truthful / Crossed - Mile

Truthful / Crossed

We locked reality away up in our closets
Just to give our burdens to our skeletons
Just to create memories out of fantasies
Just to show our hearts where they’ve never been
We blew trees and slept in with curtains closed
Hide inside the covers over all the truth that hurts to know
Picked up a little weight and dropped our inhibitions
We toasted to what we had and let go of our saddest fiction
It was, different — To forget about the past
To how quiet the sex needs to be or how long it should last
No sunset missed calls from everybody at home
‘Bout how dark it is and worried you walking back alone
Even after the fights we needed time to know we needed time
To give you a piece of my mind before the peace of mind
Then hit rewind to when we were in your sheets or mine
Now look at love for something redefined and something we designed
It’s really almost poetic
And not how love changes everything but how let it
And revel in something so amazing that we could sell it
Copacetic — a part of us in each other stays embedded
Just be truthful, girl to me if not yourself
I can’t lose you, to the world or someone else
We’ve been through too much to leave it behind
Praying both our stars align, and your heart finds its way to mine
Just be truthful
We were always searching for a higher truth
And times were not confused, really fighting for us with fighting you
But held on to you the same way I held on to promises
Never claimed to be perfect, just gave it all to be honest
And maybe — I really couldn’t make the cut any more
Maybe harder times couldn’t make it ‘bout love any more
Maybe, maybe I believed too much in the way it seemed
If something inside you had it faded like your favourite jeans
All things considered, I was playing my part
Always say it cause I don’t want no one to speak for my heart
Fell right in love when I met you, you had to grow and I let you
I’m scared to think I’d have to fall in love to try to forget you
November 2015: couldn’t forget the times
The short black weave and this lost look in your eyes
We drowned the pain in the wine.
the music kept us alive
Connected over the phone, cause it was always disguises
In person.
But I had a knack for seeing who’s hurting
The label questions your worth when you working and it ain’t working
Then came home to judgement from family that play it perfect
Like there just wasn’t space in the world for soul searching
I saw it: all the cargo you loaded on a sinking ship
Your heart just needed some hope and I still think it’s this
Relationship that we founded on solid ground
I pray that what’s lost is found, love is here even when we’re not around
And here we are — alone and afraid
I never thought I’d be the one that someone else had to save
I heard the fables and watched the movies that speak of this pain
With broken hearts in my childhood I thought it one and the same
Haha, nah.
This was more, shook me to my core
Reshaped my entire spirit and intertwined with yours
Every struggle, every war — even between the two of us
Would have raised your heart and not my voice if it meant losing us
But you had cracks on your porcelain surface too
Made me question if this shit was really worth it too
You lost so much in a year and my heart would hurt for you
I pray to God, don’t wear my Sunday best just to work for you
To knock your walls down, build above bones
And find poetic justice for my Mrs. Love Jones
But I fell in the hole that I stuck my hand down
Lost hearts in the dark while I’m just tryna be a man now
But if there’s love over all of our mistakes
How couldn’t our souls be mates, how couldn’t this shit be fate?
Why does it feel like I will never really find my place
In this world if I’ll never have your heart to keep me safe?
PART II — Crossed
I know your painful secrets very well
Somebody told me bout the guy you left me for
They made it sound just like a fairy tale
All of the special things that you were going for
Does he remind you of the pain he caused?
All of the tears I had to come and wipe myself
Do I remind you of the things you lost?
The love I gave to you, I thought you almost felt
I guess an ex don’t mean you crossed him out
I guess an ex don’t mean you crossed him out
I guess an ex don’t mean you crossed him out…
