Truth Decay

You've got me worried now

It makes me feel somehow

As if the world is gonna break

I come off short on breath

It's like I'm scared to death

That I might make a bold mistake

I'd grown accustomed to the comfort

Nothing heavy on my plate

I'd come to see myself as free at last

But now I just don't feel that great

I can't love you like I want to

When it depends on what I don't do

And every chance to see the real you

Oughta feel you slip away

Is truth decay

It throws me off my game

And nothing feels the same

I get so dizzy I can't think

I dig down deep in doubt

Until there's no way out

I'm just so busy on the break

I'd like to think I make a difference

As if indeed I ever could

It was always up to you, girl

And this I never understood

I can't love you like I want to

If it comes down to what I don't do

And every chance to see the real you

Oughta feel you slip away

Is truth decay

I can't love you with my hands tied

Walking barefoot down the landslide

If I can't be there when you need me

Do you read me when I say it's a truth decay?
