I’m Learning How to Tell Myself the Truth

Congratulations on your book

Your sharp toned wit had me shook

Thought about trying a little too long

Give it up now the Good Lord's gone

Well we could put a record on

We could dance on this shattered glass till dawn

We could try to make it disappear

All the cold we hold so dear

I'm learning how to tell myself the truth

Forget all the shit I used to think I knew

Forgive me if I cannot give you proof

I just wanna move you

Seems to me this shindig's doomed

You left your oldest costumes in the other room

Been a little while word got loose

Momma's little motto at the bible belt noose

Well the leper at the door says let me in

I slept right through the daylight again

They're throwing roses at our feet

Talk is cheap but man so are we

I'm learning how to tell myself the truth

Forget all the shit I used to think I knew

Forgive me if I cannot give you proof

I just wanna move you

And tell me when you look into my eyes

Do you still see a soul you recognize?

These golden gods keep telling me their lies

But I just wanna be true

I just wanna move you
