"The Truth" lyrics

Certain things can't be real
Certain things that you just shouldn't feel
Reaching out just to grab thin air
Something that's no longer there

I couldn't look you in the eye
And I can't see straight tonight
And I don't want to because there's nothing
The space where you'll no longer be

I said the truth will set you free
Right after it buckles you at the knees
And I played all your songs at your funeral
I didn't know how to be
(I didn't know how to, how to be now)
The truth will set you free

I ground my teeth 'til the back ones broke
For everything that hit me at once
The weight of the world and the heat in the air
For someone who's no longer there

I didn't know how to feel
I didn't mean to ask how you are
I already know there's nothing
Nothing to make this go

I said the truth will set you free
Right after it cuts your legs at the feet
And we played all our songs at your funeral
I didn't know where to be
(I didn't know where to, where to be now)
The truth will set you free

I just can't take any more of you dying
You're saying you're okay but you're just lying
I can't face your parents
Your brother or your girlfriend
They break me into pieces
Break me

I said the truth will set you straight
Right after it fucks you in the face
And I played all my songs at your funeral
I didn't know what to be
(I didn't know what to, what to be now)
Yeah, the truth can't set me free
(I didn't know what to, didn't know what to)
I guess it's all the same to me
The truth won't set you free
