Truth - Front Porch Step

You asked for lovin'

And they gave you lines

You hungered for some truth

But they fed you lies

You asked for shelter

And they kept you trapped

You beg them to hold you

But they just hold you back

Darlin' you know, it don’t mean anything

If you let his words be mistaken for proof

I hope he protects you and makes you his everything

When he tells you he loves you

Just make sure he’s telling the truth

Your daddy left mama

When you were just five

So when he says forever

You just want to hide

Cause words don’t mean nothing

To a heart that’s been bruised

He don’t need to promise

He just needs to prove

Darlin' you know, it don’t mean anything

If you let his words be mistaken for proof

I hope he protects you and makes you his everything

When he tells you he loves you

Just make sure he’s telling the truth

So when he holds you

And he tells you he loves you

Tell him that’s something that he’ll have to prove

Darlin' you know, it don’t mean anything

If you let his words be mistaken for proof

I hope he protects you and makes you his everything

When he tells you he loves you

Just make sure he’s telling the truth
