My Songs

The Truth

Verse 1:

Didn't know I fell in deep
Until I was fully under
I wasn't really scared
But I did wonder

If it was your kind words
Never once were you selfish
Until you were with her
I couldn't help feeling jealous

That's when I soon realized
That you didn't want me
So I let us go
I couldn't breathe

Chorus:

The truth of it is
I was waiting by the phone
The truth of it is
I hated those long nights alone
The truth of it is
I really want you to go

What I lied about
Was how I was feeling
What I dreamed of
Was you in the beginning
Now all I really want
Is for you to be leaving

Verse 2:

You possessed me
Took what mattered to me the most
Walked through my walls
And haunted me like a ghost

Cut through my history
And used it against my weak points
Ran through my veins
And at my bone's joints

Chorus:

The truth of it is
I was waiting by the phone
The truth of it is
I hated those long nights alone
The truth of it is
I really want you to go

What I lied about
Was how I was feeling
What I dreamed of
Was you in the beginning
Now all I really want
Is for you to be leaving

Bridge:

The truth of it is
I'm fading in and out of reality
The truth of it is
I'm trying to find the rest of me
The truth of it is
I'm fixing myself up piece by piece

What I can confess
Was that you were the only one for me
Now I'm on the floor
Gathering up the rest of my dignity
Were you blind
Cause you couldn't really see
Passed the bars
From where you had set me free

Chorus:

The truth of it is
I was waiting by the phone
The truth of it is
I hated those long nights alone
The truth of it is
I really want you to go

What I lied about
Was how I was feeling
What I dreamed of
Was you in the beginning
Now all I really want
Is for you to be leaving

Cause you'll be the one
That will be grieving
