Lyrics Half-truth - Beady Belle

Half-truth

I can’t be worrying, worrying all the time about the truth
I have to worry 'bout the truth that can be lived with
The naked truth is undisguised and barefacedly ruthless
So I pick out the worries I can cope with
I can’t be facing the reality with my eyes skinned
The truth is meant to be refined, not taken raw
So don’t worry me with worries I have chosen to present
From my doorstep, every time I’d come and go
And that is the difference between
Losing your marbles, drinking the salty sea
Or swallowing the fresh water
From the streams
It’s a thin line between turquoise and green
Every moment has a different shade
I color my poor trail with tones in between
Cherishing illusions I made
With one leg in the future and the other in the past
I face the now that I am able to inhale
The truth I choose to speak of is the one I want to last
A partial half-truth, that’s allowing me to fail
And that is the difference between
Losing your marbles, drinking the salty sea
Or swallowing the fresh water
From the streams
It’s a thin line between turquoise and green
Every moment has a different shade
I color my poor trail with tones in between
Cherishing illusions I made
