Truth Is Heavy - Benjamin Booker

I’m afraid that I’m gonna hurt you, Mary

Drag you down into the mud

In my head, they’re takin' bets on the day

When you say you’ve had enough

And my problem isn’t all my baggage

But how I let it get to me

Having trouble tryin' to accept the

Fact that someone could love me

Listen, I just need some time

(You see the truth is heavy)

I don’t ever get this far, by now I’m always gone

Listen, I just need some time

(You see the truth is heavy)

I don’t ever get this far, I’m trying to hold on

You said, darlin' there’s no need to worry

I’m not goin' anywhere

You can come to me with any problem

There ain’t nothing you can’t share

But then I think of all your other options

All those happy memories

You could have with someone who ain’t fighting

With himself… (?) like you will need (?)

Listen, I just need some time

(You see the truth is heavy)

I don’t ever get this far, by now I’m always gone

Listen, I just need some time

(You see the truth is heavy)

I don’t ever get this far, I’m trying to hold on

I keep on lookin' at the door

Just wait it out a little more

I keep on lookin' at the door

Just wait it out a little more

I keep on looking at the door

Just wait it out a little more

I keep on lookin' at the door

Listen, I just need some time

(You see the truth is heavy)

I don’t ever get this far, by now I’m always gone

Listen, I just need some time

(You see the truth is heavy)

I don’t ever get this far, by now I’m always gone

Listen, I just need some time

(You see the truth is heavy)

I don’t ever get this far, I’m tryin' to hold on
