Lyrics
Nothing but the truth now
– Akukho lutho ngaphandle kweqiniso manje
Nothing but the proof of what I am
– Akukho lutho ngaphandle kobufakazi balokho engiyikho
The worst of what I came from, patterns I’m ashamed of
– Okubi kakhulu engakuthola, amaphethini enginamahloni ngawo
Things that even I don’t understand
– Izinto ngisho nami engingaziqondi
I tried to fix it, I tried to fight it
– Ngazama ukuyilungisa, ngazama ukuyilwa
My head was twisted, my heart divided
– Ikhanda lami lalisontekile, inhliziyo yami ihlukene phakathi
My lies all collided
– Amanga ami wonke ashayisana
I don’t know why I didn’t trust you to be on my side
– Angazi ukuthi kungani ngingathembi ukuthi uzoba sohlangothini lwami
I broke into a million pieces, and I can’t go back
– Ngaqhekeza izicucu eziyisigidi, futhi angikwazi ukubuyela emuva
But now I’m seeing all the beauty in the broken glass
– Kodwa manje sengibona konke ubuhle engilazini ephukile
The scars are part of me, darkness and harmony
– Izilonda ziyingxenye yami, ubumnyama nokuzwana
My voice without the lies, this is what it sounds like
– Izwi lami ngaphandle kwamanga, yilokhu okuzwakala
Why did I cover up the colors stuck inside my head?
– Kungani ngafihla imibala eyayigxilile ekhanda lami?
I should’ve let the jagged edges meet the light instead
– Kwakufanele ngivumele imiphetho enamachashazi ihlangabezane nokukhanya esikhundleni salokho
Show me what’s underneath, I’ll find your harmony
– Ngibonise ukuthi yini engaphansi, ngizothola ukuvumelana kwakho
The song we couldn’t write, this is what it sounds like
– Ingoma esasingakwazi ukuyibhala, yilokhu okuzwakala sengathi
We’re shattering the silence, we’re rising defiant
– Sithulisa ukuthula, siyaphikisana
Shouting in the quiet, you’re not alone
– Ememeza buthule, awuwedwa
We listened to the demons, we let them get between us
– Sasilalela amademoni, sawavumela ukuba angene phakathi kwethu
But none of us are out here on our own
– Kodwa akekho kithi lapha eyedwa
So, we were cowards, so, we were liars
– Ngakho, sasingamagwala, ngakho, sasingabaqambimanga
So, we’re not heroes, we’re still survivors
– Ngakho, asiwona amaqhawe, sisaphila
The dreamers, the fighters, no lying, I’m tired
– Abaphuphayo, abalwayo, angiqambi amanga, ngikhathele
But dive in the fire and I’ll be right here by your side
– Kodwa gxumela emlilweni futhi ngizoba lapha eceleni kwakho
We broke into a million pieces, and we can’t go back
– Saba yizicucu eziyisigidi, futhi asikwazi ukubuyela emuva
But now we’re seeing all the beauty in the broken glass
– Kodwa manje sibona konke ubuhle engilazini ephukile
The scars are part of me, darkness and harmony
– Izilonda ziyingxenye yami, ubumnyama nokuzwana
My voice without the lies, this is what it sounds like
– Izwi lami ngaphandle kwamanga, yilokhu okuzwakala
Why did we cover up the colors stuck inside our head?
– Kungani sasifihla imibala eyayigxilile ekhanda lethu?
Get up and let the jagged edges meet the light instead
– Vuka uvumele imiphetho enamachashazi ihlangabezane nokukhanya esikhundleni salokho
Show me what’s underneath, I’ll find your harmony
– Ngibonise ukuthi yini engaphansi, ngizothola ukuvumelana kwakho
Fearless and undefined, this is what it sounds like
– Engesabi futhi engachazwanga, yilokhu okuzwakala sengathi
This is what it sounds like
– Yilokhu kuzwakala
(Oh, oh, oh) Hey, hey
– (Oh, oh, oh) Hey, hey
This is what it sounds like
– Yilokhu kuzwakala
(Oh, oh, oh) Hey, hey
– (Oh, oh, oh) Hey, hey
This is what it sounds like
– Yilokhu kuzwakala
(Oh, oh, oh) Hey, hey
– (Oh, oh, oh) Hey, hey
Oh, this is what it—, this is what it—
– Oh, yilokhu -, yilokhu—
This is what it sounds like
– Yilokhu kuzwakala
We broke into a million pieces, and we can’t go back
– Saba yizicucu eziyisigidi, futhi asikwazi ukubuyela emuva
But now I’m seeing all the beauty in the broken glass
– Kodwa manje sengibona konke ubuhle engilazini ephukile
The scars are part of me, darkness and harmony
– Izilonda ziyingxenye yami, ubumnyama nokuzwana
My voice without the lies, this is what it sounds like
– Izwi lami ngaphandle kwamanga, yilokhu okuzwakala
Why did we cover up the colors stuck inside our head?
– Kungani sasifihla imibala eyayigxilile ekhanda lethu?
Get up and let the jagged edges meet the light instead
– Vuka uvumele imiphetho enamachashazi ihlangabezane nokukhanya esikhundleni salokho
Show me what’s underneath, I’ll find your harmony
– Ngibonise ukuthi yini engaphansi, ngizothola ukuvumelana kwakho
Fearless and undefined, this is what it sounds like
– Engesabi futhi engachazwanga, yilokhu okuzwakala sengathi
My voice without the lies, this is what it sounds like
– Izwi lami ngaphandle kwamanga, yilokhu okuzwakala
Fearless and undefined, this is what it sounds like
– Engesabi futhi engachazwanga, yilokhu okuzwakala sengathi
Truth after all this time, our voices all combined
– Iqiniso ngemva sonke lesi sikhathi, amazwi ethu wonke kuhlangene
When darkness meets the light, this is what it sounds like
– Lapho ubumnyama buhlangana nokukhanya, yilokhu okuzwakala
