A Complicated Truth

[Verse 1]

The trees are swaying out the window and you're not with me today

You're with him and that's okay, that's okay

I hope you're running 'round in circles, hope you're laughing till you drop

I hope you're feeling safe, I hope you're feeling loved

The days are longer when you're not here, I've been staring at the sky

Wondering what I used to do with all my time

You're a universe of starlight bursting out of every seam

And the house is so damn quiet when you leave

[Verse 2]

You've been asking lots of quеstions lately, trying to figure out

Why the еndings in your books don't match ours

And it breaks my heart tryna find some words you'll understand

'Cause, baby, nothing about this was in the plan

[Chorus]

All that I can tell you is a complicated truth

I'll always love your daddy, 'cause together we made you

[Verse 3]

From the moment I first met him, I knew everything would change

Your daddy woke my heart up in the kitchen that day

He wore no metal armour, rode a vesper, not a horse

But I'd never felt so seen and so adored

We loved each other's faulty parts, we kissed each other's wounds

Till one day we were opening them too

And I know your books don't end like that, I know it's hard to take

A promise is a promise you say

[Chorus]

And all that I can tell you is a complicated truth

I'll always love your daddy

But now our love is something new

[Bridge]

Now I'm walking past your empty bedroom, turning off the lights

And I'm hoping that he's tucked you in tight

Because I haven't had the answers lately

Haven't known what to say

When you ask me why love runs away

[Chorus]

And all that I can give you are these complicated truths

Sometimes happiness is the hardest thing to choose

But I'll always love your daddy, 'cause together we made you
