Truth Be Told (Exhale)

Have I failed us again, my dear?
By saying things that were untrue?
Dodging things that needed doing
And this damage I have done
Is now becoming way too much for me to undo

I should have changed my ways when you warned me
When the sky turned grey with a promise of rain
Sweet wine into the river. I'll decline
Yet another try to make good on a promise I made
Keep it safe for a single day

I have failed you again, dear friend
No curse reversed. I'm still unreserved
All white lies in a line of many
Out for blood, have formed an army

If the first step is indeed the hardest
(It's a leap of faith)
There is a chance I may actually rise above this
(It's fighting chance)
A final chance to redeem myself

I'm way too skilled in deception
I'm all too prone to indiscretion

Yet again I'll try to make good on a promise I made
It's a promise I made at the break of a brand new day
It's a promise I may well break before the end of the day
