my original demo song...

THERE’S TRUTH IN THAT - ©Richard Murrey

[Verse 1]
You say love don’t last foreverI say sometimes it don’tYou say people mean well‘Til they find out they won’t
You say time heals all woundsI say it learns to copeYou say hope’s a good thingI say… it’s better than nope

[Chorus]
There’s truth in thatYeah, I hear what you sayAin’t every word gospelBut it ain’t all wrong anyway
I don’t need to argueI don’t need to clap backI’ve lived long enough to knowThere’s truth in that

[Verse 2]
You say money don’t change youJust shows what you beenYou say sin’s in the choosingNot the shape you’re in
You say silence can screamLouder than a shoutYou say some doors close easySome you gotta kick down

[Chorus]
There’s truth in thatCan’t deny what I’ve seenLife don’t come in black and whiteIt lives somewhere in between
You can argue your corner‘Til the facts fall flatBut when experience nods its headThere’s truth in that

[solo break]

[Bridge]
I ain’t sayin’ you’re rightI ain’t sayin’ I amJust sayin’ the road taught me thingsI didn’t understand
Some lessons whisperSome hit like a batBut either way, they leave a markYeah… there’s truth in that

[Verse 3]
You say people don’t changeI say they change slowYou say forgiveness is freedomI say it’s harder than no
You say faith’s just a wordI say it’s a scarYou say life’s what you make itI say… it leaves you where you are

[Final Chorus]
There’s truth in thatEven when it hurtsSome things only make senseAfter you’ve done the work
I ain’t claimin’ wisdomI just tip my hatTo every hard-earned lessonThat had truth in that

[Outro]
Yeah…There’s truth in that.
