Truth is
I don't really know about love
But I know that I've waited
Chased it
I've made it (made it)

Truth is
Everytime I close my eyes
I can see all the places
Faces I've painted (painted)

Like paper planes shoot through the sky
Not coming down until I get it right
I've made mistakes
But I'm alive
If there's no darkness
You can't see the light

Truth is that everything happens for a reason
Everything
Yea
Everything happens for a reason
Everything
Happens for a reason

If I have to fall to see the clouds
At least I'll learn
To stand on solid ground
Yea
Everything
Happens for a reason (everything, everything)
Happens for a reason (everything, everything)

Truth is
I don't really know about trust
But I know that I'm jaded
My patience is faded

And I don't really know about us
But I can hope we can brave it
And make it

Like paper planes shoot through the sky
Not coming down until I get it right
I've made mistakes
But I'm alive
If there's no darkness
You can't see the light

Truth is that everything happens for a reason
Everything
Yea
Everything happens for a reason
Everything
Happens for a reason

If I have to fall to see the clouds
At least I'll learn
To stand on solid ground
Yea
Everything
Happens for a reason (everything, everything)
Happens for a reason (everything, everything)
