"The Truth Is" lyrics

I wish I could tell you I hate you
And forget the memories we made, too
Drunk in city cabs, play fighting in tiny hotel rooms
How do I take back every I love you

'Cause the truth is
I'm still here tending to bruises
And shutting down thoughts of what you did
But parting hasn't erased the pain (pain)
The bloods gone but my scars remain
(The bloods gone but my scars remain)

I reached out, asked how you're dealing with life
Ripped me apart when you said more than fine
Maybe I'm selfish, but I still don't sleep much at night
I guess I was hoping you'd say I still cross your mind

And the truth is
The villain's not the one who loses
'Cause you found somebody new who will
Put up with all the shit that I couldn't (couldn't)
Accepts you and the lies that I wouldn't (wouldn't)

'Cause you looked for edges in the circles of us, but
Being non compatible doesn't mean I'm not enough
Done with leaving things unspoken, you think you did nothing wrong
I forgave you so willingly when I should've moved on
I'm the fool for never learning to be careful with trust
Can't own up to what you are or admit that you're corrupt
I was blind
To what you were hiding
So lie to yourself
And deny it
Same way you did
When I asked 'bout that night in the bar

'Cause the truth is
I'm so damn tired of your excuses
Making me feel like I'm deluded
But parting hasn't erased the pain
The bloods gone but my scars remain (remain)
The bloods gone but my scars remain

To be honest
Couldn't leave, I was held hostage
All that's left now is this carnage
The bloods gone but my scars remain
Yeah, you're gone but my scars remain
