lyrics

10,000 Kinds of Honesty

I love you, I need you, I have to leave you—
I am not the one.
It hurts you. It hurts me, too. I am not grief-proof.
But I’ve a feeling that our love is done.

Sometimes sorries don’t mean a goddamn thing:
It’s just something you say to pray the pain away.
Yeah I know that sounds an awful lot like lyin’,
but honestly, there’s never been only one kind of truth.

My words are uncertain, so I keep ‘em bottled up inside
my mind is racing for some finish line…
As if I could get a trophy, hold it up and show you what it’s all been for
as if that would make up for what a mess I am.

There’s too much work, I’m such a jerk
I know you just wanted me to love you
but the tree of my love, my love,
has a twisted maze of roots.

Sometimes sorries don’t mean a goddamn thing:
It’s just something you say to pray the pain away.
Yeah I know that sounds an awful lot like lyin’,
but honestly, there’s never been only one kind of truth.

Yeah I know this sounds an awful lot like lyin’,
but honestly, there’s never been only one kind of truth.

No, honestly, I’d love you to point out
one tiny simple truth.
