I Love You Because It's True
Embracing Truth in Love's Rebellion
Lyrics
If I convert to you, will you revert to me?
If I change myself for you, will you change back for me?
Our love could forge a self-sustained reality
Our love has the potential to create a self-sustaining reality.
We'll tell our own damn time, gaslight each other's minds
We will create our own sense of time and manipulate each other's thoughts.
Sweet confirmation bias time for you and I
There will be a biased, comforting agreement between us.
This is the most outrageous gift that I could give to you
This act of love is incredibly extreme and significant.
Surrendering to a lover's lies, insisting that they're true
Choosing to believe in a lover's lies and insisting they are true.
Oh, is this the way our parents used to live?
Reflecting on whether our parents lived similarly.
Let's do the opposite of everything they did
Proposing to do the opposite of our parents' actions.
It isn't so hard to do
Asserting that it's not difficult to go against what our parents did.
I love you because it's true
Expressing love because it's genuine and real.
If I reduce myself, and you isolate yourself
If I diminish myself and you become isolated, our love can still flourish.
Our love could thrive against a common enemy
Our love can thrive in the face of a common adversary.
And this is the most outrageous thing I wish I didn't do
Regretting a significant action that was done out of love.
Surrendering to a higher truth that simply wasn't true
Accepting an alleged greater truth that was actually false.
Oh, is this the way I sometimes used to live?
Reflecting on past behavior and contemplating a change.
Let's do the opposite of everything I did
Suggesting a reversal of personal actions, doing the opposite.
It's so very hard to do
Admitting the difficulty in going against one's own past actions.
I love you because it's true
Stating love for its authenticity and truthfulness.
