Truth Lives

Hello again, my friend

I have thought this whole thing through

I am learning things right now

That I once though that I knew

You know it’s true, we thought we saw

The love inside our eyes

But love cannot be used by friends

As an intimate disguise

We grew up way to fast

But we didn’t learn fast enough

That the words we say and the things we do

Can be so strong, so tough

And there are so many things that still pull us together

And so many things that just push us apart

And these feelings are unalterable

Coming from somewhere inside my heart

We thought we knew what love was

We though we had it down

But foolish love gives nothing

But a dark and thorny crown

We broke our love in pieces

just to watch it fall away

Believing that the pain we had

The passion would outweigh

And now those words I cannot say

Are something I know I’ve learned

A lesson in my character

That I assuredly have earned

But even if I asked you to

I know you would not stay

But even though we’re far apart

At least I can watch you walk away
