Truth or Dare Lyrics by Bryce Savage
[Intro]
He said, "Truth or dare?" She said, "Dare," he said, "Why?"
She said, "'Cause the truth is something I'd rather hide
I don't think you'd understand how I feel inside
I am just a girl and a girl is always, always "fine"
[Verse 1]
She always says that she's fine just before she disappears
Acting like she doesn't feel 'cause it's the feelings that she feels
Broken once and broken twice, she's been let down by her peers
Shame on you, the same is mine, who gives the shame when it's been yours
She's been pretty since the day that her body met her soul
That's a blessing, some would say, a different story would unfold
She's been treated like she's prey, like an item to be sold
It's hard to know who's really safe, when your body is the gold
[Chorus]
And her eyes don't lie, they tell all of her secrets
She wish she could keep 'em, but her heart's on her sleeve
And although she tries to hide all of the pieces
Those clothes can still see it's pulling hard at her seems
[Verse 2]
She looks so pretty put together, but her eyes give her away
Like sundress when the weather keeps on pouring down with rain
And she's got good at just pretending that everything's okay
Because she knows she's on her own and that's the only thing that
Stays the same, she feels the weight of everything
About to break, but you won't see what's underneath
Hide all the pain 'cause they won't understand the pain anyway
[Chorus]
And her eyes don't lie, they tell all of her secrets
She wish she could keep 'em, but her heart's on her sleeve
And although she tries to hide all of the pieces
Those clothes can still see it's pulling hard at her seems
[Verse 3]
She gives and she gives, just to get nothing back
Tells herself "It's okay, she doesn't need any of them"
But she knows, deep inside, it'd be nice to feel seen
To know them, maybe, one day, she could be someone's everything
And she's had pain and she's seen lust
But she needs love and she needs trust
Like blood from her veins, she gives too much
Just to try to feel enough, just to try to feel the love
Love yourself before someone
Babe, you've been picking all the wrong ones, time to pick yourself for once
And she just wants to be enough, so, she gives herself away
But when she's finally done, there's no love left for her to claim
She knows how to heal, all this broke can't seem to heal herself
She'll keep giving out her pieces 'til she's nothing, but a shell
And she's soft with everyone, except for herself
You couldn't tell, but just underneath, the surface is Hell
As she laughs through the pain, only way to stay sane
A perfect picture held together by a broken frame
[Outro]
But in her story, there is hope, dreams of everything she wants
A life of meaning, a life of love, a life where she's every bit enough
I found her once, I'll find her twice, I'll search and search in every life
'Cause we belong, belong together and I will know your heart as mine
And we will be so intertwined and you will see, no longer blind
That you deserve a life that's better, that you are perfectly designed
And I will hold your hand in mine and we will walk right through this life
And you'll do more than just survive and you'll be so much more than "fine"
