Oh, Truth, she tried to woo me,
But I was stuck on you.
And Truth, she showed me visions
That I chose not to see.
Truth was my companion,
But I left her for you.
Your eyes shone bright, my love was budding
I chose to take the chance.
'Cause the fresh spring grass, it sighed to me
Of beauty that was meant to be
With open arms, you welcomed me
I saw just what I hoped to see.
Then Truth, she tried to tell me
That I was in too deep.
And Truth, she flashed bright warnings
But I just looked away.
Truth was my protector,
But I pushed her aside.
You drew me in, my love in flower
I didn't see your walls.
'Cause the summer sun, it called to me
with blazing sweet intensity.
I climbed too high in ecstasy
Now love misplaced is burning me.
My Truth, she tried to shade me
from the brilliance that I craved
And Truth said I knew better,
But I refused to hear.
Truth was truer to me
Than I was to myself
As my love unfurled, a vine in bloom,
Clinging to your walls.
Now autumn leaves, they sing to me
Of love and loss and meant-to-be,
And so I know your leaving me
Was Truth's tough love -- it set me free.
Though my heart strayed,
Truth never wavered.
She stayed by my side
Till you made up your mind.
And the autumn leaves, they sing to me
Of love and loss and meant-to-be,
And so I know your leaving me
Was Truth's tough love -- it set me free.
It set me free....
