The Truth
Love's Unspoken Dilemma: The Truth by Field Guide
Lyrics
Sometimes you just can't tell the truth
Sometimes, honesty is challenging.
I won't show you the things I wrote
I choose not to reveal my inner thoughts.
The songs will die, on posted notes
Creativity and emotions may be lost in unshared songs on notes.
And I will try to fall out of love with you
I will attempt to move on from my feelings for you.
All my friends say they see something too
Others notice something between us.
I don't wanna get too close
Fear of intimacy; avoiding getting too close.
I feel naked fully clothed
A sense of vulnerability despite outward composure.
And all my friends say they see
Recognition from friends about a connection.
Something in me, something in you
There's a mutual understanding or attraction.
But you still love him babe
Despite your involvement with someone else, you still love me.
You'll probably play it safe and take his name
You might opt for a safe choice and marry him.
And I'll never tell you I love you to your face
I can't confess my love directly to you.
When we meet eyes, we don't rush to look away
We share prolonged eye contact without looking away hastily.
I really shouldn't be this hung up
Admitting a struggle with feelings, shouldn't be so emotionally attached.
But I can't seem to be with you enough
Despite recognizing the emotional challenge, I can't be away from you.
And all my friends say they see something in me, something in you
Friends observe a connection between us.
But you still love him babe
Your love for me persists despite your commitment elsewhere.
You'll probably play it safe and take his name
You may choose a secure path and marry him.
And I'll never tell you I love you to your face
Expressing love directly to you is challenging.
Let's never talk about it
Let's avoid discussing our complicated situation.
Let's never tell our friends about it
Let's keep our romantic involvement a secret from friends.
