Verse 1:
You said you'd always tell the truth,
But now it’s turning back on you.
A word once spoken doesn’t fade —
It takes more than it ever gave.

Now you stand in silent dust,
No one left that you can trust.
Truth can feel like sweet release,
'Til it kills your inner peace.

Chorus:
Don’t believe the path is right
Just because it’s bathed in light.
Truth can cut without a sound,
Leave you broken on the ground.
Should’ve kept it locked inside —
Now there's nowhere left to hide.
You have paid, there's no excuse...
That's the price of truth.

Verse 2:
You thought the fire would cleanse your name,
But all it left was ash and shame.
Once the arrow leaves the bow,
It won’t ask where it should go.

Now you hide from every glass,
Fear the face that's looking back.
What you said, you can’t undo —
Now the lie lives inside you.

(Chorus)
Don’t believe the path is right
Just because it’s bathed in light...
(repeat with subtle build-up)

Bridge:
No more games, no more disguise,
But what remains behind your eyes?
Truth can burn just like a flame,
Leaving nothing but your name...

Final Chorus (variation):
Too late now to twist the past,
The words you spoke will always last.
Every line you thought was pure
Now becomes your own cure —
or your curse. You can’t undo...
That’s the price of truth.
Yeah... that’s the price of truth.
