Lyrics
Bitter Truth
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.
I have to tell the truth
Even if it breaks my heart
I don't want to be misjudged later
For trying to conceal it
I know our love is impossible
Because it is our destiny
And one day you'll be able to pardon
This bitter truth
I swear
That it's costing me my life
That this wound will bleed
For an eternity
Maybe later you might understand
That I was always sincere
Perhaps someone will help you see
That I still love you
