The Truth On My Side
Embracing Truth: May Erlewine's Powerful Reflection on Love and Honesty
Lyrics
I can't carry that weight
I cannot bear the burden or responsibility you are imposing on me
Like you want me to
I am unable to fulfill your expectations
Like I was you
I can't emulate or be like you
And it's not a pact that I will break
There's a commitment I won't violate, especially in loving you
Loving you, the way you asked me to
I won't love you in the way you're requesting
And I see the beauty in your lies
I recognize the attractiveness in the falsehoods you present
But I wanna live
Despite that, I desire to lead a life
With the Truth on my side
I want to live authentically, guided by the truth
I can't carry your pain
I cannot shoulder the emotional burden you carry
Oh, but I wanted to, to take it on for you
Although I wished to, I cannot take on your pain
I know it's hard to face
Acknowledging the difficulty of facing reality
I see you run away, but I don't blame you babe
I understand you avoiding the truth, and I don't blame you
I see the beauty in your lies
I can appreciate the allure in the false narratives you create
But I wanna live
Nevertheless, my aspiration is to live honestly
With the truth on my side
I want to live aligned with the truth
You think that it's easy
You assume it's simple for me to express
Easy for me to say
But in reality, it's not easy for me to say
But it's not easy
It's challenging to witness your deterioration in this manner
Watching you fall apart this way
(Blank line, possibly indicating a pause or reflection)
And I see the beauty in your lies
I can see the appeal in the deceptions you maintain
But I wanna live
However, my preference is to live truthfully
With the truth on my side
I want to live with integrity, guided by the truth
I want to live with the truth on my side
Expressing a strong desire to live in alignment with the truth
