the truth
lyrics & music by peter c marinari 2.15.98

words of you hit like a kiss/ or ripped like claws/ while i cared/ but some words you missed/ some weren't there// well, sometimes the truth cuts like a knife/ tears at me and tears me down/ i wish the truth had not been found/ // / talking to you was empty/ phrases rung hollow/ with the sound/ of words forgotten/ of the ones i found// well, sometimes the truth cuts like a knife/ tears at me and tears me apart/ i wish the truth had not been found/ // / reason as wrong as lies/ that you didn't tell/ you should've/ cause two wrongs would've made right/ they could have/ well, sometimes the truth cuts like a knife/ tears at me and tears me down/ i wish the truth had not been found/ // / the lacking screamed at me/ from other mouths/ and other pens/ but ommitted actions/ were as loud// well, sometimes the truth cuts like a knife/ tears at me and tears me down/ i wish the truth had not been found/ // / new-faded like the blue/ is what i felt/ so easy gone/ just as easy as / those words you missed/ those lips you kissed/ that weren't mine/
