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/
