The Truth Lyrics

When I hold you

I hold you like it's the last time

Because I know that

Someday you will not be mine

Everyday now

The mistakes eat me up alive

It's those decisions

That would devastate your mind

I've been happy

For the first time in my life

Ain't it funny

That I got here from a lie

I tried to leave you

Because I cannot tell the truth

But girl I need you

Lord please tell me what to do

Tell me how to make her stay

And still let go of the weight

That torments me each day

Won't you set my spirit free

Of what is killing me

Before I break her heart

Every night now

I wrap you tightly in my arms

You know by now girl

I'd always keep you out of harm

Is that enough though

To make up for the lies I've told

Is it to late now

To save my unforgiven soul

She don't deserve no pain

She's given me her faith

Tell me how I can explain

Won't you set my spirit free

Of what is killing me

Won't you take away this weight

That torments me each day

Won't you fill this empty whole

Buried deep inside my soul

Suffocate my lying breath

From ruining the rest

Won't you help to make her see

That we're still meant to be

When she finds out the truth
