Lyrics

Perception
They say there's two sides to every story
And the truth lies somewhere in between
Actual events and ones own memory
We all come from different backgrounds
Different families
We've had our own unique experience
That make up our beautiful story
Chorus
You might think she's aloof
When she's just an introvert
You might think he's a saint
When he's a narcissistic jerk
You might think that she's a bitch
And chances are she thinks you're one too
Cuz we all have our own perception
Of the truth
We all see life in different colors
Some see red, some see in black and white
Some see life in rainbows of positivity
Some are engulfed in negativity
Chorus
You might think she's aloof
When she's just an introvert
You might think he's a saint
When he's a narcissistic jerk
You might think that she's a bitch
And chances are she thinks you're one too
Cuz we all have our own perception
Of the truth
Bridge
Our perception is influenced
By our own insecurity
Our past experience
Our upbringing
Chorus
You might think she's aloof
When she's just an introvert
You might think he's a saint
When he's a narcissistic jerk
You might think that she's a bitch
And chances are she thinks you're one too
Cuz we all have our own perception
Of the truth
