Pink - The Truth About Love Lyrics






Are We All We Are

Are we all we are
Are we all we are

Cut to now, holy wow
When did everything become such a hell of a mess?
Maybe now, maybe now, can somebody come and take this off my chest?

I know you think it's not your problem
I know you think that God will solve them
But if your shit is not together
It'll never be you and me, plant the seed
Open up and let it be

We are the people that you'll never get the best of
Not forget the rest of, rest of (Ooohhh)
We've had our fill, we've had enough, we've had it up here
Are we all we are
Are we all we are

We are the people that you'll never get the best of
Not forget the rest of, rest of (Ooohhh)
Just sing it loud, until the kids will sing it right back
Are we all we are
Are we all we are

Are we all we are
Are we all we are

Seven seconds, seven seconds
That is all the time you got to make your point
My attention, my attention's like an infant tryna crawl around this joint

I know we're better than the masses
But we're all followin' our asses
And if our shit is not together
It'll never be you and me, plant the seed
Open and let it be

We are the people that you'll never get the best of
Not forget the rest of, rest of (Ooohhh)
We've had our fill, we've had enough, we've had it up here
Are we all we are
Are we all we are

We are the people that you'll never get the best of
Not forget the rest of, rest of (Ooohhh)
Just sing it loud, until the kids will sing it right back
Are we all we are
Are we all we are

Four, that's how many years it took me to get through the lesson
That I had to do it all on my own
Three, that's how many Hail Mary's they would pray for me
Thinkin' I was gonna end up all alone
Two for second chances that you've given me,
Can it be, lucky me, lucky me, now let's go
One, it's what we are, it's what we are
Are we all we are
Are we all we are

We are the people that you'll never get the best of
Not forget the rest of, rest of (Ooohhh)
We've had our fill, we've had enough, we've had it up here
Are we all we are
Are we all we are

We are the people that you'll never get the best of
Not forget the rest of, rest of (Ooohhh)
Just sing it loud, until the kids will sing it right back
Are we all we are
Are we all we are

We are the people that you'll never get the best of
Not forget the rest of, rest of (Ooohhh)
We've had our fill, we've had enough, we've had it up here
Are we all we are
Are we all we are

We are the people that you'll never get the best of
Not forget the rest of, rest of (Ooohhh)
Cut to the future, sing it loud, and take the power back
Are we all we are
Are we all we are

Blow Me (One Last Kiss)

White knuckles
And sweaty palms from hanging on too tight
Clenched shut jaw
I've got another headache again tonight

Eyes on fire, eyes on fire
And they burn from all the tears
I've been crying, I've been crying
I've been dying over you

Tie a knot in the rope
Trying to hold, trying to hold
But there's nothing to grab
So I let go

I think I've finally had enough
I think I maybe think too much
I think this might be it for us
Blow me one last kiss

You think I'm just too serious
I think you're full of shit
My head is spinning, so
Blow me one last kiss

Just when it can't get worse
I've had a shit day
You've had a shit day
We've had a shit day

I think that life's too short for this
Want back my ignorance and bliss
I think I've had enough of this
Blow me one last kiss

I won't miss all of the fighting
That we always did
Take it in
I mean what I say when I say "there is nothing left"

No more sick whiskey dick
No more battles from me
You'll be calling a trick
'Cause you no longer sleep

I'll dress nice, I'll look good
I'll go dancing alone
I will laugh, I'll get drunk
I'll take somebody home

I think I've finally had enough
I think I maybe think too much
I think this might be it for us
Blow me one last kiss

You think I'm just too serious
I think you're full of shit
My head is spinning, so
Blow me one last kiss

Just when it can't get worse
I've had a shit day
You've had a shit day
We've had a shit day

I think that life's too short for this
Want back my ignorance and bliss
I think I've had enough of this
Blow me one last kiss

Blow me one last kiss
Blow me one last kiss

I will do what I please
Anything that I want
I will breathe, I will breathe
I won't worry at all

You will pay for your sins
You'll be sorry, my dear
All the lies, all the whys
Will all be crystal clear

I think I've finally had enough
I think I maybe think too much
I think this might be it for us
Blow me one last kiss

You think I'm just too serious
I think you're full of shit
My head is spinning, so
Blow me one last kiss

Just when it can't get worse
I've had a shit day
You've had a shit day
We've had a shit day

I think that life's too short for this
Want back my ignorance and bliss
I think I've had enough of this
Blow me one last kiss

Blow me one last kiss
Blow me one last kiss

Just when it can't get worse
I've had a shit day
You've had a shit day
We've had a shit day

I think that life's too short for this
Want back my ignorance and bliss
I think I've had enough of this
Blow me one last kiss

Try

Ever wonder 'bout what he's doing
How it all turned to lies?
Sometimes I think that it's better
To never ask why

Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns, doesn't mean you're gonna die
You gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
You gotta get up and try, try, try

(Eh, eh, eh)

Funny how the heart can be deceiving
More than just a couple times
Why do we fall in love so easy
Even when it's not right?

Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns, doesn't mean you're gonna die
You gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
You gotta get up and try, try, try

Ever worried that it might be ruined
And does it make you wanna cry?
When you're out there doing what you're doing
Are you just getting by?
Tell me, are you just getting by, by, by?

Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns, doesn't mean you're gonna die
You gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
You gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
You gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try

You gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try

Just Give Me a Reason

Right from the start
You were a thief, you stole my heart
And I, your willing victim
I let you see the parts of me, that weren't all that pretty
And with every touch you fixed them
Now you've been talking in your sleep, oh oh
Things you never say to me, oh oh
Tell me that you've had enough
Of our love, our love

Just give me a reason, just a little bit's enough
Just a second, we're not broken, just bent and we can learn to love again
It's in the stars, it's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're not broken, just bent, and we can learn to love again

I'm sorry I don't understand
Where all of this is coming from
I thought that we were fine (oh, we had everything)
Your head is running wild again
My dear we still have everythin'
And it's all in your mind (yeah, but this is happenin')
You've been havin' real bad dreams, oh oh
You used to lie so close to me, oh oh
There's nothing more than empty sheets between our love, our love
Oh, our love, our love (love)

Just give me a reason, just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent and we can learn to love again
I never stop, you're still written in the scars on my heart
You're not broken, just bent, and we can learn to love again

Oh, tear ducts and rust
I'll fix it for us
We're collecting dust, but our love's enough
You're holding it in
You're pouring a drink
No, nothing is as bad as it seems
We'll come clean

Just give me a reason, just a little bit's enough
Just a second, we're not broken, just bent and we can learn to love again
It's in the stars, it's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken just bent and we can learn to love again

Just give me a reason, just a little bit's enough
Just a second, we're not broken, just bent, and we can learn to love again
It's in the stars, it's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken, just bent and we can learn to love again

Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh, can learn to love again
Oh, that we're not broken, just bent and we can learn to love again

True Love

[ Featuring Lily Allen ]

Sometimes I hate every single stupid word you say
Sometimes I wanna slap you in your whole face (whoa oh oh)
There's no one quite like you, you push all my buttons down
I know life would suck without you (whoa oh oh)
At the same time, I wanna hug you
I wanna wrap my hands around your neck
You're an asshole but I love you
And you make me so mad, I ask myself
Why I'm still here, or where could I go
You're the only love I've ever known
But I hate you, I really hate you
So much I think it must be
True love, true love
It must be true love
Nothin' else can break my heart like
True love, true love
It must be true love
No one else can break my heart like you

Woah oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Woah oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Just once tried to wrap your little brain around my feelings
Just once please try no to be so mean (whoa oh oh)
Repeat after me now R-O-M-A-N-C-E-E-E
Come on I'll say it slowly (ROMANCE)
You can do it babe
At the same time, I wanna hug you
I wanna wrap my hands around your neck
You're an asshole but I love you
And you make me so mad, I ask myself
Why I'm still here, or where could I go
You're the only love I've ever known
But I hate you, I really hate you
So much I think it must be
True love, true love
It must be true love
Nothin' else can break my heart like
True love, true love
It must be true love
No one else can break my heart like you

Woah oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Woah oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Think it must be love (I love you)
I think it must be love (I love you)
Why do you rub me up the wrong way?
Why do you say the things that you say?
Sometimes I wonder how we ever came to be
But without you I'm incomplete
I think it must be
True love, it must be true love
It must be true love

Nothin' else can break my heart like
True love, true love
It must be true love
No one else can break my heart like you
Woah oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Woah oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
No one else can break my heart like you
Woah oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Woah oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
No one else can break my heart like you

How Come Youre Not Here

Where have you been?
Where have you gone?
And have I done something wrong?
You're the Tooth Fairy
You're like Santa Claus
You're like white noise
When I want my favorite song

Just come on back
And come on home
It ain't super smart to leave me alone
Light a flare, pick up the phone
I'm like a stoner babe without my bong

Are you hiding in the closet?
Are you underneath the bed?
Did you go for a long walk off a short pier?
How come you're not here?
Should I worry you've been bitten?
Or somebody got you high?
Quick come back
Or I might just die
How come you're not here?

I've heard some rumors
About another girl
I heard she's cute
But she stores nuts like a squirrel
And that's all cool
I'll wait right here
'Til you get bored
And she gets carded for beer

I'm the one
I'm just that slick
You won't find better
I'm honey dipped
There ain't a thing
That's fake on me
I miss you baby
Come home to me

Are you hiding in the closet?
Are you underneath the bed?
Did you go for a long walk off a short pier?
How come you're not here?
Should I worry you've been bitten?
Or somebody got you high?
Quick come back
Or I might just die
How come you're not here?

Has anyone seen?
Has anyone seen?
Has anyone seen why he's hiding from me?
Can anyone see?
Can anyone see?
Can anyone see let's play hide and seek

Are you hiding in the closet?
Are you underneath the bed?
Did you go for a long walk off a short pier?
How come you're not here?
Should I worry you've been bitten?
Or somebody got you high?
Quick come back
Or I might just die
Quick come back
Or I might just die

The Truth About Love

The truth about love comes at 3am
You wake up f*cked up and you grab a pen
And you say to yourself
I'm gonna figure it out, I'm gonna crack that code
Gonna break it break it down
I'm tired of all these questions
And, now it's just annoying
Cause, no one has the answer
So I guess it's up to me
To find the truth about love
As it comes, and it goes
A strange fascination with his lips and toes
Morning breath, bedroom eyes on a smiling face
Sheet marks red burn, and a sugar glaze
Shocking me all, they can eat your eyes
If the truth about love

I think it just may be perfect
The only person of my dreams
I never ever ever ever been this happy
But now something has changed
And The Truth About Love is it's all a lie
I thought you were the one, and I hate goodbyes

Oh, you want the truth?

The truth about love is it's nasty and salty
It's the regret in the morning, it's the smelling of armpits
It's wings, and songs
And trees, and birds
It's all the poetry that you ever heard
Tear it put it down, life lime for get me now
It's the hunt and the kill
The schemes and the plots
The truth about love is it's blood, and it's guts
Pure bread, and mud
Sandwiches without the crust
It takes your breathe, cause it leaves a scar
But those untouched never got never got very far
It's rage and it's hate
And a sick twisted fate
And that's the truth about love
The truth about love

I think it just may be perfect
The only person of my dreams
I never ever ever ever been this happy
But now something has changed
And The Truth About Love is it's all a lie
I thought you were the one, and I hate goodbyes

Oh you can lose your breath
Oh, you can shoot a gun and
Convince you're the only one that's ever found his way before
It hurts inside the hell we've been in
It falls to get a pack and thinner
It's raised before the angels' lips and
They can turn you into a son of a bitch man

The truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is

Beam Me Up

There's a whole 'nother conversation going on
In a parallel universe.
Where nothing breaks and nothing hurts.
There's a waltz playing frozen in time
Blades of grass on tiny bare feet
I look at you and you're looking at me.

Could you beam me up,
Give me a minute, I don't know what I'd say in it
I'd probably just stare, happy just to be there, holding your face
Beam me up,
Let me be lighter, I'm tired of being a fighter,
I think, a minute's enough,
Just beam me up.

Some black birds soaring in the sky,
Barely a breath like our one last say
Tell me that was you, saying goodbye,
There are times I feel the shiver and cold,
It only happens when I'm on my own,
That's how you tell me, I'm not alone

Could you beam me up,
Give me a minute, I don't know what I'd say in it
I'd probably just stare, happy just to be there, holding your face
Beam me up,
Let me be lighter, I'm tired of being a fighter,
I think, a minute's enough,
Just beam me up.

In my head, I see your baby blues
I hear your voice and I, I break in two and now there's
One of me, with you

So when I need you can I send you a sign
I'll burn a candle and turn off the lights
I'll pick a star and watch you shine

Just beam me up,
Give me a minute, I don't know what I'd say in it
I'd probably just stare, happy just to be there, holding your face
Beam me up,
Let me be lighter, I'm tired of being a fighter,
I think, a minute's enough,
Beam me up
Beam me up
Beam me up
Could you beam me up.

Walk Of Shame

One step, two steps, counting tiles on the floor
Three steps, four steps, guess this means that I'm a whore
Uh-oh, hell no, how long till I reach the door?
F*ck me, my feet are sore

I'm wearing last night's dress and I look like a hot ass mess
I know my hair looks good cause I haven't slept yet!

Make the elevator come a little faster
I'm pushing on the buttons, but nothing's happening
Please God don't let anybody see me
Please God I'll do anything you ask of me
I promise, no more walks of shame

So walk this way (we're walking, we're walking)
Walk this way (we're walking, we're walking)

Last night's bubblegum, no more bubbles, no more yum
Where'd I get the wristband, tell me there's no tramp stamp
One two three shoot, no one on the [?]
Damn it man but sure is fun, party 'til the sun wakes up

Okay now raise two hands if you ever been guilty
And quack qauck qauck like a duck if you walk with me

Make the elevator come a little faster
I'm pushing on the buttons, but nothing's happening
Please God don't let anybody see me
Please God I'll do anything you ask of me
I promise, no more walks of shame

So walk this way (we're walking, we're walking)
Walk this way (we're walking, we're walking)

I shouldn't have let
'Em take my keys, take my keys
Then left me here, with too much beer
My friends, they hung me out to dry
It's not my problem, that's why
I'm doin' the walk of shame

Make the elevator come a little faster
I'm pushing on the buttons, but nothing's happening
Please God don't let anybody see me
Please God I'll do anything you ask of me
I promise, no more walks of shame

So walk this way (we're walking, we're walking)
Walk this way (we're walking, we're walking)

Here Comes The Weekend

[ Featuring Eminem ]

Here comes, comes the weekend
Hear it calling like a siren oh oh
We don't want no problems
We don't like them, keep it moving
Here comes The weekend
Set off your sirens oh oh
Here comes The weekend
Set off your sirens oh oh

I just wanna play, big city, holiday
So get out of my way
If you know what's better for you
I'm tearing up the night
Lipstick and leather tight
Not looking for a fight no oh oh

High heels and cherry wine
Not wasting any time
We're ticking like a bomb
About to blow oh oh

Here comes, comes the weekend
Hear it calling like a siren oh oh
We don't want no problems
We don't like them, keep it moving
Here comes The Weekend
Set off your sirens oh oh
Here comes The Weekend
Set off your sirens oh oh

Drink some pink champagne
I don't know you yet
But we'll forget so
F-ck what they say
Let the rum flow until it rains oh oh
I'm tearin up the night
Lipstick and leather tight
Not looking for a fight no oh oh

High heels and cherry wine
Not wasting any time
We're ticking like a bomb
About to blow oh oh

Here comes,comes the weekend
Hear it calling like a siren eh oh eh oh
We don't look for trouble, just enough too, seeing double
Here comes The Weekend
Set off your sirens oh oh
Here comes The Weekend
Set off your sirens oh oh

Nothing high class in my glass
Only bottles of pop
My bottles are popped so when I pop up in the spot
I'm probably not gonna be wanting to pop bubbly or Ciroc
I'm not Puffy but I'ma run this city tonight
When I hit it, I might act like a frickin' idiot
Diddy mixed with a medieval knight, big city lights
Little indignity, hot diggity
This Biggie is gettin' me hype
I don't get some liquor, I'll hurt you
I'll knock your dick in the dirt, bickerin' worse
Than that bitch in that Snickers commercial
A mixture of Stiffler and Urkel
Hangin' from the light fixture
I hope you pricks are insured for this building
Cuz we're tearin' it down, security get out
The frickin' way, Jesus Christ the blaring is loud
I swear the only thing I hear is the sound
Of sirens going eeeeeh cause....

Here comes The Weekend
Set off your sirens oh oh
Here comes The Weekend
Set off your sirens oh oh

Oh oh

Here comes The weekend
Set off your sirens
Here comes The weekend
Set off your sirens oh oh

Where Did The Beat Go?

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Ba da ba bum
Oh oh oh oh
Ba da ba bum
Ba da ba bum
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

I can hear planes flyin' over my head
Just hours before you occupied my bed
In our darkness we conjured up sunlight
In our haste, our need, our thirst we lost our sight
But I was inspired tracing the lines on your face
To the poetry the first time I heard your name
When I trip from your lips my heart was like a kick-drum
And it silenced the guilt, I wasn't raised to hurt anyone

Uh oh, does he know
That I'm lyin' in the afterglow
That I'm lyin' but I can't go, can't say no
Make him think he's crazy
While his paranoia grows
What he should be asking
Is where did our love ago
Then I wouldn't be baskin'
In another man's afterglow

Where did the beat go?
Where is the beat?
Where did the beat go?

So how do I justify to the judge and the jury
The voices in my head that caused this fury
Never had to play with matches to start a fire
But it got so cold and I thought I'd forgotten desire
I was your concubine and then your Madonna
You couldn't see anything behind your baby's mama
How long is lonely supposed to last?
I was naked and waiting for you to come back

Uh oh, does he know
That I'm lyin' in the afterglow
That I'm lyin' but I can't go, can't say no
Make him think he's crazy
While his paranoia grows
What he should be asking
Is where did our love ago
Then I wouldn't be baskin'
In another man's afterglow

Where did the beat go?
Where is the beat?
Where did the beat go?

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

There's a cause and effect although I took the steps
I dove off the bridge cause I had nothing left
All I ever wanted was you
And in the absence of you
I fell through

Uh oh, does he know
That I'm lyin' in the afterglow
That I'm lyin' but I can't go, can't say no
Make him think he's crazy
While his paranoia grows
What he should be asking
Is where did our love ago
Then I wouldn't be baskin'
In another man's afterglow

Where did the beat go?
Where is the beat?
Where did the beat go?
Where did the love go?
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Where did the beat go?
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Where did the love go?

The Great Escape

I can understand how the edges are rough
And they cut you like the tiny slivers of glass
And you feel too much
And you don't know how long you're gonna last
But everyone you know, is tryna smooth it over
Find a way to make the hurt go away
But everyone you know, is tryna smooth it over
Like you're trying to scream underwater

But, I won't let you make the great escape,
I'm never gonna watch you checkin' out of this place
I'm not gonna lose you
'Cause the passion and the pain
Are gonna keep you alive someday
Gonna keep you alive someday

I feel like I could wave my fist in front of your face
And you wouldn't flinch or even feel a thing
And you retreated to your silent corner
Like you decided the fight was over for ya
Everyone you know, is tryna smooth it over
Find a way to make the hurt go away
Everyone you know, is tryna smooth it over
Everyone needs a floor they can fall through

I won't let you make the great escape
I'm never gonna watch you checkin' out of this place
I'm not gonna lose you
'Cause the passion and the pain
Are gonna keep you alive someday
They're gonna keep you alive someday

Oh, terrified of the dark, but not if you go with me
And I don't need a pill to make me know
And I wrote the book already
But that chapter of my life will soon be done

I'm the king of the great escape
You're not gonna watch me checkin' out of this place
You're not gonna lose me
'Cause the passion and pain
Are gonna keep us alive, someday
Yeah the passion and the pain
Are gonna keep us alive someday
Someday, yeah

The Truth About Love is the sixth studio album by American singer-songwriter Pink. It was released on September 14, 2012, through RCA Records. After giving birth to her first child in 2011, Pink started working on the album with longtime collaborator Billy Mann. With hopes of becoming more involved in the production of the album, she also reunited with Greg Kurstin and Butch Walker. Recording sessions took place between January and May 2012. The Truth About Love is primarily a pop record and includes elements of electropop, dance-pop, and rock music. Its lyrics explore themes of love, monogamy, and sexuality, as evidenced by the album title. The songs on the album express various perspectives towards romance and delve into the realities of long-term relationships. It features guest appearances by Eminem, Lily Allen, and Nate Ruess.

The album received generally positive reviews from music critics, who commended Pink's thematic and musical direction. Buoyed by extensive marketing, The Truth About Love was a commercial success, topping the charts in eight countries, including Australia, Canada, Germany, and Sweden. In the United States, it became Pink's first number-one album on the Billboard 200 chart and was later certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales of three million album-equivalent units. In Australia, The Truth About Love became the first album to top the year-end chart for two consecutive years and was certified nine times platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA). It was ranked as the seventh best-selling album of 2012, with sales of 2.6 million copies sold worldwide. By 2016, the album had sold over seven million copies globally.

Six tracks from the album were released as singles. "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)", the album's lead single, was released on July 2, 2012, and peaked at number five on the US Billboard Hot 100. The second single, "Try", attained the top-ten position in several countries worldwide, including Australia, Canada, Germany, the UK, and the US. It was followed by "Just Give Me a Reason", which topped the record charts in over ten countries worldwide and became Pink's fourth number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100.

"True Love" charted moderately in various countries, while the album's other singles, "Walk of Shame" and "Are We All We Are", had a limited release. The album was further promoted through The Truth About Love Tour (2013-2014), which grossed $183 million upon completion. The Truth About Love was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards.
