You, Me, and the Truth
You said it was my fault
And I said you were to blame
You said this love, you’d halt
I said, this is such a shame
You said I deserved the hurt
I said you weren’t worth the pain
You said I’d need to convert
But I said your bitterness was plain
You said it was never your mistake
Yet, I felt like it was your doing
You said I was just a crazy flake
I said you weren’t worthy of pursuing
You said I was nothing but irate
And I said you had broken my heart
You said, my love had turned to hate
But I knew you were surely no sweetheart
You said more than I can justify
I said more than I should have said
Finally, the time came when you’d say goodbye
And I would look back to a love now dead
The Truth, though, the truth would reveal
How both of us had given into selfish ways
We’d realize, only too late, how it would feel
The loneliness, the heartbreak, the dark days
The truth would soon remember the love we shared
How we lost more than just another friend
We lost the beautiful joy of someone who truly cared
And, it was the truth that grieved the most, in the end.
