A Song About Truth

When we first met you said: "Hold on to me" Keep my eyes wide open, keep my eyes wide open So I'll pick up some straw dolls and I'll burn them down Keep on feeding our bonfire And I'll put my rusty heart into a pretty little matchbox For yours too rugged to be preserved And we'll be ancient stars colliding into each other's atmosphere Stones in our pockets, but so easy to fly away But this ain't a song about truth And it's so hard to take This ain't a song about truth And it hurts so bad I'm king of rain and poor of everything Since you've run run run run run away You've run run run run run away You've run run run run run away You've run run run run run away And I will give you all of my strength if you ever need protection For you're too rare to forget And we could screw it up or maybe find perfection Just learn to be loved, loved as you loved me so far But this ain't a song about truth And it's so hard to take This ain't a song about truth And it hurts so bad I'm king of rain and poor of everything Since you've run run run run run away You've run run run run run away You've run run run run run away You've run run run run run away But this ain't a song about truth And it's so hard to take This ain't a song about truth And it hurts so bad My truth is wasted under pouring rains Still praying for a song about truth Still praying for a song about truth Still praying for my song about truth Still praying for my song about truth
