truth (if you want it)

"truth (if you want it)" was actually written over a weekend. i was strumming what would become the backbone of the song on guitar, when i said to Darren that i could "probably make a song out of this over the weekend". i did, and it became "truth", and i liked the idea behind it so much i made it the title track of the album.

notice josephine gets put in her place in this song. i don't hold a grudge though, we had some good times, her and i

lyrics

it's time to understand the choices you make
there's always a reason for every mistake
you're going out tonight
maybe you'll get drunk
maybe you'll forget all those things you don't want

chorus:
all you want is peace
all you want is love
a star to call your own in the heavens above
well i'm just a man, and this is just a song
but i can help you find what was there all along

you can't perfect the past, but remember what you've learned
there's nothing you can't do, if you want it, you can have it
there's no need to cry
there's no Josephine
there's no time for sadness when you're living out your dreams

chorus
what was there all along...
