Truth Is Heavy

I’m afraid that I’m gonna hurt you, Mary
Drag you down into the mud
In my head, they’re takin’ bets on the day
When you say you’ve had enough

And my problem isn’t all my baggage
But how I let it get to me
Having trouble tryin’ to accept the
Fact that someone could love me

Listen, I just need some time
(You see the truth is heavy)
I don’t ever get this far, by now I’m always gone
Listen, I just need some time
(You see the truth is heavy)
I don’t ever get this far, I’m trying to hold on

You said, darlin’ there’s no need to worry
I’m not goin’ anywhere
You can come to me with any problem
There ain’t nothing you can’t share

But then I think of all your other options
All those happy memories
You could have with someone who ain’t fighting
With himself… (?) like you will need (?)

Listen, I just need some time
(You see the truth is heavy)
I don’t ever get this far, by now I’m always gone
Listen, I just need some time
(You see the truth is heavy)
I don’t ever get this far, I’m trying to hold on

I keep on lookin’ at the door
Just wait it out a little more
I keep on lookin’ at the door
Just wait it out a little more

I keep on looking at the door
Just wait it out a little more
I keep on lookin’ at the door

Listen, I just need some time
(You see the truth is heavy)
I don’t ever get this far, by now I’m always gone
Listen, I just need some time
(You see the truth is heavy)
I don’t ever get this far, by now I’m always gone
Listen, I just need some time
(You see the truth is heavy)
I don’t ever get this far, I’m tryin’ to hold on
