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
I could say I moved on
all I needed was time—
oh, but the truth is
I don’t want to lie
I could say I moved on
all I needed was time—
but the truth is
yeah the truth is
I don’t want to lie
