Lyrics

The Truth Is

Can’t believe I ran into you here

still holding up the sky after all these years

I try to duck out but then you catch my eye

I smile and I wave hoping you don’t see

my hands are shaking,I can hardly breathe

and just like that I’m lost in your smile.

if we keep the talk small

about nothing at all

then I won’t have to lie

Cause the truth is I’m not free

I still wear your t-shirt to sleep

your old toothbrush is sitting by my sink

and the truth is I still miss

your morning eyes, your hands on my hips

some days I wake with your name on my lips

I could say I’ve moved on

all I needed was time—

oh, but the truth is

I don’t want to lie

you tell me about all the traveling you did

where you live now, your wife and kids

the life you built since we said goodbye

people come and people go

you’re way past me, I should’ve known

I guess it was just a matter of time

so I keep asking questions

creating distractions

so I won’t have to lie

but the truth is I’m not free

I still wear your t-shirt to sleep

your old toothbrush is sitting by my sink

And the truth is I still miss

your morning eyes, your hands on my hips

some days I taste your name on my lips
