Lyrics
True
Learned today I might have killed a man
He might have died by the touch of my hand
Or another part of me
Not the heart of me
Is it true? God knows
I never meant to
But, I might have anyway
I might have anyway
I loved them all see
And I know they loved me
In a silent, sad way, true
But, that was the only way we knew
If we'd known then what we know now
Well, it don't matter anyhow
And now, how I pray
(Chorus)
It's true
No lie
Face up
Don't cry
For you
And I
Lace up
And tie
A knot
We live a little
But then we die
A lot
He died alone, same as he lived
Never told me or anyone else if he might forgive us
And now I can't let myself forget
One kissed throat, one missed boat
One missed still,
No I never will
When I was a boy I learned to love
My body and all it was made of
And all it could do
It could run and sing, true
And the juice that ran beneath my skin was mine
Pure and sweet like red, red wine
I would lie in the sun
And I would shine
(Chorus)
If there's a heaven or if there's a hell
(I used to think I knew so well)
Is he looking down or up at me
And what, I wonder, does he see
The soles of my feet
Or the top of my head
Barely living or almost dead
Does he watch me linger?
And I wonder if he is at all forgiving
Of the fact that I'm still living,
If you can call it that
Does he call it that?
Or is he raining tears for me
Crying years for me
Is he laughing, instead?
Is he pointing his trigger finger?
