If It Wasn't True Lyrics

I'm sitting on the couch, feeling alone
I don't feel right, cause no one's home
I start to think about the things in the past
The feelings were right, the fun always lasts

Your kiss it was so sweet, it meant everything
It felt like commitment, without a ring

Now I feel like we don't have no fun
This isn't for me, I don't like what we've become

Now we just fight and I can't look at you
The silent treatment is all that we do

I tried to let you know that you were wrong
But all it did was keep you gone

I wanna cry, I wanna feel emotions now
I'm kicking and screaming and having a cow


Now I can't even talk to you, I guess this is it
I guess that we are through, are through

But girl
I woulda known about it
I woulda known about it
If it wasn't true

But girl
I woulda known about it
I woulda known about it
If it wasn't true

(True, true, true, true)
(True, true, true, true)
(True, true, true, true)

The sun is out and there's no more clouds
I feel I can approach you now

I can be with you without feeling down
Yeah, we can speak without a single shout

We took some time to heal all our wounds
Now what was made by me and you?

Now we can let go of the little things
This isn't love, I guess that it was

But girl
I woulda known about it
I woulda known about it
If it wasn't true

But girl
I woulda known about it
I woulda known about it
If it wasn't true

But girl
I woulda known about it
I woulda known about it
If it wasn't true

But girl
I woulda known about it
I woulda known about it
If it wasn't true

Shamir Bailey (born c. 1994), better known by their stage name Shamir, is an American singer and songwriter from Las Vegas, Nevada. Their début EP, Northtown (June 2014) was followed in 2015 by a full-length album, Ratchet.

Shamir is known for their androgynous countertenor voice. Radio.com wrote that their singing voice, "like Joplin's, stops you in your tracks." Shamir has said that they don't mind having their voice described as androgynous, but notes that 'countertenor' is the correct term: "It's not feminine, it's not masculine. It's a happy medium ... I feel like if the world was more like that, our problems would be gone."

Critic Jamieson Cox, writing for Pitchfork Media, wrote:

"With a piercing countertenor somewhere between Prince masquerading as Camille and the cracking adolescent soul of the teenage Michael Jackson, the 19-year-old North Las Vegas native dismantles the expectations maintained for vocalists based on their gender, demanding instead that the focus be placed on his agile, fluttering performance."

Shamir's style has been described as a distinctive mix of disco and funk with hints of pop "laced with old skool house". Life & Soul has described them as "a dynamic young artist who successfully adopts the craft of his musical heroes Michael Jackson and Prince." Read more on Last.fm.
