[Intro – Steady and clear] Three sides… [Verse 1 – Measured, storytelling] Everybody’s got a version they swear is the one Built from what they felt and what they think was done Two people walk away from the exact same fight Carrying two different truths into the night One saw the intention, the other felt the blow One remembers the silence, the other the words that cut low Neither has to be lying for the stories to divide Perception fills the spaces where the facts don’t collide [Pre-Chorus – Building] There’s always more than one… [Chorus – Open and thoughtful] Three sided stories His side, her side, and the part that sits between Three sided stories What we felt, what we saw, and what it might have meant Nobody’s completely wrong, nobody’s completely right We’re all just telling tales through our own filtered light Three sided stories Yeah, three sided stories That’s the way it goes [Verse 2 – Slightly deeper] A kid acts out on the bus and the phone starts to ring Parents see a problem, the driver sees a scene One side says “he started it,” the other says “he was pushed” And the truth is usually somewhere in the rush We bring our own histories into every little storm We fill in the blanks with the patterns we’ve worn So I try to slow the judgment when the stories don’t align Because I wasn’t standing in their shoes at the time [Bridge – Lower, reflective] I don’t have to pick a winner… I don’t have to make it neat… I can hold two different truths And still stay on my feet [Final Chorus – Fuller] Three sided stories His side, her side, and the part that sits between Three sided stories What we felt, what we saw, and what it might have meant Nobody’s completely wrong, nobody’s completely right We’re all just telling tales through our own filtered light Three sided stories Yeah, three sided stories That’s the way it goes [Outro – Steady fade] Three sides… His side… her side… and the truth… Three sided stories.
