Lyrics
Intro
Spoken
I've been here before.
Not this exact story...
but this exact feeling.
I know how it ends.
I just have to wait.
Verse 1
I showed up every time you needed me
listened close and gave you what I had
helped you build the thing you said you wanted
never thought that it would turn out bad
We talked like people talk when they trust each other
words I wouldn't share with just anyone
I thought that meant something to you
I guess I was the only one
Hook
Slow truth...
doesn't rush for anyone
Slow truth...
gets there just the same
it never needs to explain
Slow truth...
always finds its way
Verse 2
I remember the exact message
the tone was off but I let it slide
something in the way you worded it
didn't match the warmth you showed inside
I gave you the benefit of every doubt
because that's what you do for people you trust
I have always given too much benefit
to people who adjust to what they must
Hook
Slow truth...
doesn't rush for anyone
Slow truth...
gets there just the same
it never needs to explain
Slow truth...
always finds its way
Instrumental Solo
Bridge
Spoken
I reached out.
More than once.
You didn't take it.
That told me everything
I needed to know
before the rest of it
came out.
Verse 3
You always came back around eventually
not to apologize — to check
if I was still standing where you left me
if the wound was still fresh
I was standing there alright
but not the way you thought
I helped you with your work
I kept your confidence
and this is what it bought
You made it personal
when it was never supposed to be
funny how the ones you help the most
are the ones you never see coming
Hook
Slow truth...
doesn't rush for anyone
Slow truth...
gets there just the same
it never needs to explain
Slow truth...
always finds its way
Outro
Spoken
I never said a word.
I didn't have to.
Everybody already knows
what was said
and to who.
