Truth Is

The truth is, I didn't believe in you.
Every time I thought I felt it, it wasn't true.
I poured my all into you.
Leaving me half empty.
Plenty of times you have my smiles turn into cries
What I thought was true, was actually lies.
But still I stayed...
despite what I was feeling inside.

The truth is, I think I avoid you.
Because I know the type of emotions
You cause people to do.
I didn't think I was strong enough to handle you
The ups and downs
The highs and lows..
It was something I didn't think I could control.

The truth is, when you finally took a hold me.
You didn't let go.
No matter how I tried to run and hide.
You were there behind every corner,
In step with every stride
I have to admit it felt right to just give in and let go
And allow you to show me what I've been missing...

The truth is, True love... you scare the hell out of me
But in all honestly..
I'm ready..
