"A Complicated Truth" lyrics

The trees are swaying out the window and you're not with me today
You're with him and that's okay. That's okay.
I hope you're running round in circles, hope you're laughing till you drop
I hope you're feeling safe, I hope you're feeling loved

The days are longer when you're not here, I've been staring at the sky
Wondering what I used to do with all my time
You're a universe of starlight bursting out of every seam
And the house is so damn quiet when you leave

You've been asking lots of questions lately, trying to figure out
Why the endings in your books don't match ours
And it breaks my heart trying to find some words you'll understand
Cause baby nothing about this was in the plan

All that I can tell you is a complicated truth
I'll always love your daddy, cause together we made you

From the moment I first met him I knew everything would change
Your daddy woke my heart up in the kitchen that day
He wore no metal armour, rode a vesper not a horse
But I'd never felt so seen and so adored

We loved each other's faulty parts, we kissed each other's wounds
Till one day we were opening them too
And I know your books don't end like that, I know it's hard to take
A promise is a promise you say

And all that I can tell you is a complicated truth
I'll always love your daddy
But now our love is something new

Now I'm walking past your empty bedroom, turning off the lights
And I'm hoping that he's tucked you in tight
Cause I haven't had the answers lately
Haven't known what to say
When you ask me why love runs away

And all that I can give you are these complicated truths
Sometimes happiness is the hardest thing to choose
But I'll always love your daddy, cause together we made you
