    The song explores a person's inner struggle to reconcile their true self with societal expectations of what is acceptable, and questions how one can find inner peace or "heaven" without changing who they are or losing parts of themselves. It references lying to save face in front of others and one's father, an internal voice that has been tormenting the singer, and waking up screaming at oneself. The chorus asks how can one find heaven without losing parts of themselves or changing, suggesting that if they can't do that then perhaps they don't want heaven or inner peace after all.

    TROYE SIVAN HEAVEN

    The truth runs wild


    Like a tear down a cheek
    Trying to save face, and daddy heart break
    I'm lying through my teeth
    This voice inside
    Has been eating at me
    Trying to replace the love that I fake
    With what we both need
    The truth runs wild
    Like kids on concrete
    Trying to sedate my mind in its cage
    And numb what I see
    Awake, wide eyed
    I'm screaming at me
    Trying to keep faith and picture his face
    Staring up at me
    Without losing a piece of me
    How do I get to heaven?
    Without changing a part of me
    How do I get to heaven?
    All my time is wasted
    Feeling like my heart's mistaken, oh
    So if I'm losing a piece of me
    Maybe I don't want heaven?
    [Betty Who:]
    The truth runs wild
    Like the rain to the sea
    Trying to set straight the lines that I trace
    To find some relief
    This voice inside
    Has been eating at me
    Trying to embrace the picture I paint
    And colour me free
    Without losing a piece of me
    How do I get to heaven?
    Without changing a part of me
    How do I get to heaven?

    All my time is wasted


    Feeling like my heart's mistaken, oh
    So if I'm losing a piece of me
    Maybe I don't want heaven?
    So I'm counting to fifteen
    Counting to fifteen, counting to fifteen
    So I'm counting to fifteen
    Counting to fifteen, counting to fifteen
    So I'm counting to fifteen
    Counting to fifteen, counting to fifteen
    So I'm counting to fifteen
    Counting to fifteen, counting to fifteen
    Without losing a piece of me
    How do I get to heaven?
    Without changing a part of me
    How do I get to heaven?
    All my time is wasted
    Feeling like my heart's mistaken, oh
    So if I'm losing a piece of me
    Maybe I don't want heaven?
    The truth runs wild
    Like a tear down a cheek

    MAKNA
    [Verse 1: Troye Sivan]
    The truth runs wild
    Like a tear down a cheek
    Trying to save face, and daddy heart break
    I'm lying through my teeth
    Kebenaran itu menggelontor begitu saja, seperti air mata yang menetes di pipi,
    tak tertahankan. Mencoba untuk menyelamatkan muka dari rasa malu, malah
    membuat sang ayah terluka hatinya. Aku telah menghembuskan dusta dari selasela gigiku.
    This voice inside
    Has been eating at me
    Trying to replace the love that I fake
    With what we both need
    Suara hatiku telah menggerogotiku. Suara itu mencoba untuk menggantikan
    cinta yang selama ini kupalsukan. Suara kebenaran itu oh, padahal justru cinta
    palsuku lah yang kita berdua butuhkan.

    The truth runs wild


    Like kids on concrete
    Trying to sedate, my mind in its cage
    And numb what I see
    Kebenaran itu terungkap begitu saja, seperti kanak-kanak dalam wujud aslinya.
    Mencoba untuk kutenangkan, tapi pikiranku telah tertawan. Hanya mati rasa lah
    yang kusaksikan.
    Awake, wide eyed
    I'm screaming at me
    Trying to keep faith and picture his face
    Staring up at me
    Aku terbangun, mataku melebar. Tak kusadari aku meneriaki diriku sendiri. Aku
    ingin mencoba tetap meyakiki semua ini dan mengingat wajahnya yang terus
    menatapku.
    [Chorus: Troye Sivan]
    Without losing a piece of me
    How do I get to heaven?
    Without changing a part of me
    How do I get to heaven?
    All my time is wasted
    Feeling like my heart's mistaken, oh
    So if I'm losing a piece of me
    Maybe I don't want heaven?
    Tapi, tanpa melepaskan sebagian dari diriku, bagaimana aku bisa mencapai
    surgaku? Tanpa mengubah sebagian dari diriku, bagaimana aku bisa mencapa
    surgaku? Selama ini waktuku terbuang percuma. Sepertinya ada yang salah
    dalam hatiku. Jika aku memang tak bersedia melepaskan separuh diriku, apakah
    itu berarti aku tak menginginkan surgaku?
    [Verse 2: Betty Who]
    The truth runs wild
    Like the rain to the sea
    Trying to set straight the lines that I trace
    To find some release
    This voice inside
    Has been eating at me
    Kebenaran itu terluncur begitu saja seperti hujan di lautan, tanpa penghalang.
    Aku mencoba meluruskan kalimat yang pernah kuucapkan untuk melepaskan
    segala beban. Karena suara-suara dalam diriku telah menggerogotiku.
    Trying to embrace the picture I paint
    And colour me free

    Aku mencoba untuk memeluk gambaran yang telah kulukis, dan mewarnai diriku
    dengan merdeka.
    [Bridge: Troye Sivan]
    So I'm counting to fifteen
    Counting to fifteen, counting to fifteen
    So I'm counting to fifteen
    Counting to fifteen, counting to fifteen
    Jadi, aku coba saja menghitung sampai lima belas. Akankah berhenti, atau
    berlanjut.
