truthfully

I’m a truthful man
Soul diamond and gold
Won’t see the pain that’s in my eyes
I designed it in code
She said she ain’t gon tell no lies
that’s the line that she sold
So when I went and crossed that line
Found love of mine was no more
And did she cry until she’s sore?
Don’t know I never looked back
Knowing I had let her go
Hoping I never would look bad
Her heart and trust I took that
And I still just up and left her
Took everything it was all mine
And fuck yes I understood that
But I left her anyway
With an “I got you if you need me
But I can’t fuck with you like that
I want to eat what you can’t feed me
I want to leave up out this house
They can’t find me if they cant see me
And fuckin I, I, I, I, I"
I know I only think of me repeating
And know I should have thought of you
But my brain’s mine, I’m fucking greedy
So I stood and parted ways
Looking for harder days
Knowing tears will always dry
Surprised when they never came
And I saw you hopping out your van
I waved and smiled when I seen you
And saw you flash a pained look back
Full of the hurt that I did bring you
Realized I could never be true
Even though honest is how I seem
Cause I’m in love with money, me, and more
Ashamed I won’t tell you these things
See I’m a truthful man
Gold and diamond my soul
I said I ain’t gon tell no lies
But that’s the lie that I just sold

Author's Note
Sometimes telling the truth hurts like a lie. I think I'd rather be hurt by the truth any day instead of a lie. How about you? This one feels choppy, it's been a minute since I've written. Let me know what you think?
