Truth Be Told (Exhale)

Have I failed us again, my dear?

By saying things that were untrue?

Dodging things that needed doing

And this damage I have done

Is now becoming way too much for me to undo

I should have changed my ways when you warned me

When the sky turned grey with a promise of rain

Sweet wine into the river. I'll decline

Yet another try to make good on a promise I made

Keep it safe for a single day

I have failed you again, dear friend

No curse reversed. I'm still unreserved

All white lies in a line of many

Out for blood, have formed an army

If the first step is indeed the hardest

(It's a leap of faith)

There is a chance I may actually rise above this

(It's fighting chance)

A final chance to redeem myself

I'm way too skilled in deception

I'm all too prone to indiscretion

Yet again I'll try to make good on a promise I made

It's a promise I made at the break of a brand new day

It's a promise I may well break before the end of the day
