Truth Is I Lied
Deceptive Shadows: Unveiling the Heart's Betrayal in 'Truth Is I Lied'
Lyrics
Scratched a heart on your door then I shoved myself outside
Created a symbol of affection at your door but then forcefully departed
Lashed my soul cross this twin horse and rode off in the night
Expressed inner conflict and rode away hastily
Guess you noticed I'm gone and the low morning sun's
Realized my absence as the morning began and shadows of doubt emerged
Cast some shadows with questions inside
Observed uncertainties lingering within
So the truth is his letter at dawn will send a new light
His letter in the morning will bring a new perspective or understanding
Truth is I lied when I said I'd always be your whippin' pet
Confession that I deceived by claiming I'd obediently endure any pain for you
I lied when I said,"I shouldn't mind the hurt I guess"
Admitted lying about tolerating emotional pain
When I pleaded and stated I needed you just to survive (I lied)
Falsely asserted that I relied solely on you for survival
Truth is last night when you tore my heart apart my mind begin
Realization after heartbreak that I won't be naive and foolish again
Never thinkin' like your fool again
Determined not to repeat past mistakes like a fool
And a freedom that you fill me kept spelling out truth as I'd write
Freedom felt after the breakup compelled me to acknowledge the truth in my writings
Truth is I lied
Confessed to lying
Saw an image of you where the highway touched the sky
Imagined seeing you at a distant place, but avoided dwelling on it
I was blockin' my view so I steered that thought aside
Ignored thoughts about you to avoid emotional turmoil
Now the morning and me ride a cold memory past tomorrow to some other town
Continued journeying with memories while distancing from the past
Where we'll never care wheather this truth was lost or found
Considering a future where the truth doesn't matter
Truth is I lied when I said I'd always be your whippin' pet
Reiterated falsehood about enduring pain for you
I lied when I said,"I shouldn't mind the hurt I guess"
Repeated the lie about tolerating hurt
When I pleaded and stated I needed you just to survive (I lied)
Deceived by claiming dependence on you for survival
Truth is last night when you tore my heart apart my mind begin
Realization post-heartbreak that I won't be foolishly devoted again
Never thinkin' like your fool again
Determined to avoid repeating past mistakes
And a freedom that you fill me kept spelling out truth as I'd write
Felt liberated after separation, allowing honesty in my expressions
Truth is I lied
Reiterated the confession of lying
Truth is I lied
Repeated the confession of lying
