the truth

I won't ask much of you

Or anything really

I won't tell you when i want something

There's too much of that

Too much pressure to be something you just aren't

To do something you don't want to do

To say something you don't mean

I won't ask much

But i do want one thing

And its simple really

The truth

In reality i shouldn't ask for something i don't always give

The truth is hard

The truth hurts a lot of the time

It tears open the hidden parts of you

Exposing shadows to light

Causing hatred to hide

But the truth is necessary

And it will find a way out no matter what you do
