It’s the Truth
Music and Lyrics by L. Gillam

A little birdie let me know that you’ve found someone new
It was just last week we talked about what’s going on with you
Did you think I’d cry in pain or collapse in sheer despair?
I’m only asking for respect, and you know it’s only fair

It’s the truth, try it on for size
You’ll find it’s not so bad
It’s the truth, it comes with a prize
It’s the peace you’ve never had

It’s not about the one you’re with or what you choose to do
You’ve moved on and that’s okay, I assure you, I have, too
But someone else is in my house, and I didn’t have a say
You know that I won’t tolerate you treating me this way

Why is it after all these years, you still can’t set things straight?
I’ll never get your constant need to ignore me and to wait
Truth always makes its way out front, this fact you can’t dismiss
So why not tell it like it is before it gets to this

My friends think keeping you around really isn’t wise
But they don't know you like I do, they can’t see through my eyes
I see the things that others don't, and I've chosen not to dwell
On stories of the years gone by that there’s no need to retell
