Testo Church Clothes - Queen Butterfly
Testo della canzone Church Clothes (Queen Butterfly), tratta dall'album Church Clothes
They'd sit around together, talking 'bout each other's lives
Then walk into the church and act so sanctified
Hands lifted to the ceiling, voices steady in the praise
But the same mouths spreading gossip had something new to say
They knew every secret, every prayer, every tear
Then twisted every story once the person wasn't near
Smiling in the hallway like their hands were clean and pure
But behind closed doors, they were passing judgment for sport
It started with one person, someone I trusted most
The kind you'd never think would turn into a ghost
One day they switched on me, like everything had changed
And before I knew it, nothing felt the same
Then the rest fell in line, never asking if it was true
Just believing what they heard instead of talking it through
People I laughed with, cried with, prayed beside
Blocked me out their lives and never told me why
And I ain't saying I was perfect, I never claimed to be
But I know the heart I carried, and I know what they did to me
I owned the parts I needed, I cried more than they'll know
But betrayal hits different when it comes dressed in church clothes
They acted holy on Sunday, but chose sides through the week
Following the loudest voice instead of searching for peace
Nobody checked on my heart, nobody asked for my side
They just closed the door behind them and left me outside
A fake heart can hide for a while, but the truth will always show
What's planted in the dark eventually starts to grow
You can dress it up with scripture, you can cover it with pride
But true intentions always rise up to the light
I kept replaying memories, wondering where it went wrong
How people who said they loved me could move on so strong
I wasn't perfect, no, but my heart was always real
That's why this kind of betrayal is so hard to heal
It wasn't just the leaving, it was how they disappeared
Like I became the villain in a story I never got to hear
Like years of being present meant nothing in the end
'Cause one person said my name and they forgot I was their friend
And I prayed for understanding, I begged God for some peace
But some doors close loudly when they're setting your soul free
Now I see the difference between love and loyalty
Real ones don't condemn you based on who they heard you'd be
They acted holy on Sunday, but chose sides through the week
Following the loudest voice instead of searching for peace
Nobody checked on my heart, nobody asked for my side
They just closed the door behind them and left me outside
A fake heart can hide for a while, but the truth will always show
What's planted in the dark eventually starts to grow
You can dress it up with scripture, you can cover it with pride
But true intentions always rise up to the light
I won't chase a seat at tables where my name became a joke
I won't beg for love from people who were fine to watch me choke
I won't keep explaining pain to people committed to lies
Some folks only call it drama when the truth gets televised
And I don't hate them, I just see them
That's a different kind of peace
I don't need to make them villains
They revealed themselves to me
They acted holy on Sunday, but chose sides through the week
Following the loudest voice instead of searching for peace
Nobody checked on my heart, nobody asked for my side
They just closed the door behind them and left me outside
A fake heart can hide for a while, but the truth will always show
What's planted in the dark eventually starts to grow
You can dress it up with scripture, you can cover it with pride
But true intentions always rise up to the light
So I don't gotta expose 'em, I don't gotta make a scene
The fruit of who they really are will speak louder than me
And time has a way of revealing what's genuine and what's not
'Cause fake hearts always uncover themselves, whether they mean to or not
