Truth Decay
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You’ve got me worried now
It makes me feel somehow
As if the world is gonna break
I come up short on breath
It’s like I’m scared to death
That I might make a bold mistake
I’ve grown accustomed to the comfort
Nothin’ heavy on my plate
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
Or to feel you
Slip away
Is truth decay
It throws me off my game
And nothin’ 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 dizzy on the brink
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
Or to feel you
Slip away
Is truth decay
I can’t love you with my hands tied
Walking barefoot down a landslide
If I can’t be there when you need me
Do you read me
When I say
It’s a truth decay
