The Truth Fits

Follow your head and not your heart

You'll be satisfied

Don't go looking for a bluer sky

In a world that's black and white

Some days it may feel like

You swallowed a bitter pill

But the way it is, it's always been

For you, it always will

Well, I tried so hard to be happy

Living how they said I should

But a stranger's boots grow heavy

And the truth fits too damn good

Right? Wrong? We go along

With lies we tell ourselves

Getting through another day or two

Being someone else

Years now, I've had my fill

At a loss for what to say

You keep pouring shame on me

And it's all spilling out today

'Cause I tried so hard to be happy

Living how they said I should

But a stranger's boots grow heavy

And the truth fits too damn

Good for you that you have found the one and only way

I'm just trying to survive today

Go ahead and hit me with the ways you don't approve

All along those crooked lines I thought I had to move

Every road I stumble down, I won't fall behind

As all the noises fade away, the voice I hear is mine

I tried so hard to be happy

Living how they said I should

But a stranger's boots grow heavy

And the truth fits too damn good

Yeah, the truth fits too damn good
