Truths

Through the years I continue to face the fact

That you weren’t the one 

I hated you for so long I didn’t see

You made me better

I may be bitter and jaded

Thanks to you

But I’ll be okay 

Truths are told

And lies are learned 

Part of me hates you

Part of me thanks you 

Truths are told

Facts are exposed

Part of me hates you

Part of me thanks you 

Those eight innocent years of your gaslighting 

I’ll never regain

And at this point I would never change a thing 

You made me better

I maybe guarded on defense

Thanks to you 

But I’m doing fine

Truths are told

And lies are learned 

Part of me hates you

Part of me thanks you 

Truths are told

Facts are exposed

Part of me hates you

Part of me thanks you 

I forgive the regret I lived

Because I mourned your love

I accept the truth of us

And all the damage it caused 

Truths are told

And lies are learned 

Part of me hates you

Part of me thanks you 

Truths are told

Facts are exposed

Part of me hates you

Part of me thanks you
