Lyrics for Truth Is Heavy

I'm afraid that I'm gonna hurt you Mary Take you down into the mud In my head they're takin' back from the day When you say you've had enough And my problem is not all my baggage But how I let it get to me Having trouble trying to accept the Thought that someone could love me Listen I might just need some time (You say your truth is heavy) I don't ever get this far By now I'm always gone Listen I just need some time (You say your 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 going 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 vile With himself, with you and me LIsten, might just need some time (You say your truth is heavy) I don't ever get this far By now I'm always gone Listen I just need some time (You say your truth is heavy) I don't ever get this far I'm trying to hold on I keep on looking out the door Just wait it out a little more I keep on looking out the door Just wait it out a little more I keep on looking out the door Just wait it out a little more I keep on looking out the door LIsten, might just need some time (You say your truth is heavy) I don't ever get this far By now I'm always gone Listen I just need some time (You say your truth is heavy) I don't ever get this far I'm trying to hold on
