The Truth That I Have Earned

Washing down the salt it’s time to go
Everybody said I’d make you grow
It’s another lie that I have learned
It’s a kind of truth that I have earned
I need a little holiday or two
I’ve got to get away before the coup
Everybody knows the reason why
Everyone avoids the question
If you were leaving town, if you were leaving town, if you were leaving town I would love you
If you were leaving town, if you were leaving town, if you were leaving town I would love you
Sitting here I nurse myself to sleep
It’s time to stop trading memories
It’s another lie that I have learned
It’s a kind of truth that I have earned
I broke another resolution there
Got to take a chance and take some care
Everybody knows the reason why
Everyone avoids the questions
If you were leaving town, if you were leaving town, if you were leaving town I would love you
If you were leaving town, if you were leaving town, if you were leaving town I would love you
