[Verse 1]
If I don't say what you want to hear
If I don't dress in what you want me to wear
If I don't think the way you do
I can't help it cause that's my truth
If my humor makes you bored, if my religion isn't yours
If my maturity doesn't fit my youth
I can't help it cause that's my truth
[Chorus]
See, the truth often hurts
But if it's honest it´s always worth it
Can't deny that I'm subjective but no truth can be objective
Even though it's universal, it's always individual
My truth, your truth, his truth, her truth
It doesn't matter as long as it's true
[Verse 2]
If my culture is something you don't know
It's unfamiliar and it's uncomfortable
I suggest you get to know my roots
Before you judge me cause that's my truth
If your opinion is different from mine
If where I say go is where you draw the line
Even if I may not agree
I will accept cause it's your truth and it sets you free
[Chorus]
See, the truth often hurts
But if it's honest it´s always worth it
Can't deny that I'm subjective but no truth can be objective
Even though it's universal, it's always individual
My truth, your truth, his truth, her truth
It doesn't matter as long as it's true
[Bridge]
Don't you lose your truth, for whatever it's worth
Don't you try to compromise with your own life
[Chorus]
See, the truth often hurts
But if it's honest it´s always worth it
Can't deny that I'm subjective but no truth can be objective
Even though it's universal, it's always individual
My truth, your truth, his truth, her truth
It doesn't matter as long as it's true
