Truth Is a Beautiful Thing Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Miles and miles on my own
Warm with shame, I follow on
A language to find hard to hear
Not to understand, just disappear
[Pre-Chorus]
To hold your heart, to hold your hand
Would be to me the greatest thing
To hold your heart, hold your hand
Would be to me the bravest thing
[Chorus]
Could you take my place and stand here?
I do not think you'd take this pain
You'll be on your knees and struggle under the weight
Oh, the truth would be a beautiful thing
Oh, the truth is a beautiful thing
[Verse 2]
I wear another thought of you
There's so much home I give to you
Hide you somewhere they don't know
Deep in my call you know you have a throne
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold your heart, hold your hand
Would be to me the greatest thing
To hold your heart, to hold your hand
Would be to me the bravest thing
Miles and miles on my own
Warm with shame, I follow on
A language to find hard to hear
Not to understand, just disappear
[Pre-Chorus]
To hold your heart, to hold your hand
Would be to me the greatest thing
To hold your heart, hold your hand
Would be to me the bravest thing
[Chorus]
Could you take my place and stand here?
I do not think you'd take this pain
You'll be on your knees and struggle under the weight
Oh, the truth would be a beautiful thing
Oh, the truth is a beautiful thing
[Verse 2]
I wear another thought of you
There's so much home I give to you
Hide you somewhere they don't know
Deep in my call you know you have a throne
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold your heart, hold your hand
Would be to me the greatest thing
To hold your heart, to hold your hand
Would be to me the bravest thing
About
Genius Annotation
“Truth Is a Beautiful Thing” is the third and title single from London Grammar’s second album, entitled “Truth Is a Beautiful Thing”.
The song discusses the yearning and hurting of being far away from someone you really care about. The only thing is that she sings about the fact that she hasn’t told him the truth. She sings about wanting to tell her secret lover that she loves him but is too afraid and wants to keep it a secret from everyone else because of how they might react to it. If she does tell him the truth about how she might feel, their relationship with each other would flourish and “be a beautiful thing”.
