Two Truths

Once again, after another
set of tears and pointless screams.
You hold me in your arms.
Like everything's alright.
You tell me that you're sorry.
And at long last.
We're not fighting tonight.

Your lips meet mine
and it's hard to breathe again.
It's easy to forgive you
when I forget the rest of the world.
And for tonight, I guess.
I'll believe everything you say.
That I'll always be
your number one girl.

You're smiling and I guess
I wish this'll last forever.
These moments you remind me
why I put up with all you do.
Even when everyone tells me
that I deserve better than you.

Tonight, everything's fine.
As I stand here surrounded
by your arms, and I feel safe.
Like no one can hurt me
with you by my side.
But you probably know
how easy it is to hurt me.
With a few simple lies.

I give you another chance.
And I know despite what I say
that this isn't the last.
You promise me you'll try harder
This time it'll work.
And we laugh at how stupid we were
when we were fighting yesterday.
And hey, maybe it's true.
We'll finally be okay.

But then the next day,
it happens all again.
Tonight we're screaming
and fighting. And once again,
I'm just cursing your name.
I wish you the best.
With the rest of your life.

I promise you that
I never want to see you.
And through all the shouting
You say you hate me too.
And I can tell you're running to her.
Breaking my heart even more.
But then you come back
Apologizing even more than before.

And I know deep down that maybe
I'll always forgive you.
Have this weak spot
no matter what it is you do.
Because despite what they say
I know the only truth you tell
is when you tell me you love me.
And when you tell me that you're sorry.

And tonight I'll pretend
like you didn't hurt me again.
And again, I'll believe it.
And you'll be fully forgiven.
I love you too much
maybe for my own good.
And I can never stay angry.
Just because of your only two truths.
