Uncomfortable truth.
It might be silent after.
At least they know.
For the record
I have those feelings
The feelings I promised I didn't have
An uncomfortable truth to admit
Don't be silent
I don't act upon it
So I hear the trio of voices once more
I can't afford to be a coward
So I listen to these voices
They say it together
Uncomfortable silence and an uncomfortable truth
Doesn't this hurt?
Well, yes but it's apart of adulting
“The guilt of not saying something?”
Well, I do have that but what about the guilt if I do?
“For the record, this is self-destructive.”
Well, For the record, I know. Let those feelings die.
I'll let my uncomfortable truth become a memory
When that memory fades, we will stay just Best Friends
Best friends forever that don't have feelings like that for you anymore
So I got asked,
"Would you rather...An Uncomforting Truth or A Comforting Lie?"
And I think the truth is always best...
