JJ Heller's song "True Things" gently explores identity and self-worth, reminding listeners that they are not defined by external circumstances, possessions, relationships, or past mistakes. The lyrics affirm that there are deeper, true things within each person, and the chorus echoes a humble prayer for faith: "I believe, help my unbelief." The song reassures that we are loved and free, and it speaks of waking up to God's love. It's a quiet, reflective piece that encourages trust in God's perspective over our own insecurities.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I'm not the clothes I'm wearing
I'm not a photograph
I'm not the car I drive
I'm not the money I make
I'm not the things I lack
I'm not the songs that I write
I am ... who I am
I am who I am
There are true things inside of me
I have been afraid to see
I believe, help my unbelief
Would you say again what you said to me
I am loved and I am free
I believe, help my unbelief
I'm not the house I live in
I'm not the man I love
I'm not the mistakes that I carry
I'm not the food that I don't eat
I'm not what I'm above
I'm not my scars and my history
There are true things inside of me
I have been afraid to see
I believe, help my unbelief
Would you say again what you said to me
I am loved and I am free
I believe, help my unbelief
To your love I'm waking up
In your love I'm waking up
