The Truth

A dusty book sits on a shelf
 Waiting to be read
 As I find room to sort through all these
 Thoughts inside my head
 Taking stock and letting go of
 Mistakes that I have made
 As I dig deeper it gets darker
 The light begins to fade
 All this time I tried to forget
 The truth is I haven't yet
 It took the look inside your eyes
 To finally make me see
 I never thought this would begin
 To frighten even me
 All this time I tried to forget
 The truth is I haven't yet
 The old pass wisdom to the young
 The truth will set you free
 I've heard it said I've heard it sung
 In four part harmony
 So, why can't I get through my head
 Such a simple thought
 The truth's a lie somebody said
 Believe it or not
 All this time I tried to forget
 The truth is I haven't yet
