Dew Ledoux - Truth Don't Bend Lyrics

A promise made beneath the sky You held my hand, that felt alive
But cracks appeared in the light of day The truth was there, it slipped away
Your voice, a melody I believe A song of love that turned to grief
We danced on faith, but missed the beat A rhythm lost, a bitter feat

Is it love or is it lies? Is it gold or painted pride
What's a heart if it's just torn? A piece of hope that's left for a lord
Truth don't bend, it won't pretend Don't string me along just to see where it ends
The cut runs deep, the hurt won't fade A man's soul ain't a game to play

Your silence grew like weeds on a trail Hiding the roots of what would fail
I chased the signs, but they disappeared Now I'm left with the scars of tears
Your laughter once lit up my way And now it lingers like a yesterday
Freedom feels like a lonely tune A hollow note, sung too soon

Is it fate or is it cruel? A broken trust, a bending rule
Let your heel not break apart Don't shatter someone's beating heart
Truth don't bend, it won't pretend Don't string me along just to see where it ends
The cut runs deep, the hurt won't fade A man's soul ain't a game to play

What's the cost of a love untrue? A man left wondering what he'll do
The weight of pain, the tears of time Can't erase the love left behind
Truth don't bend, it won't pretend Don't string me along just to see where it ends
The cut runs deep, the hurt won't fade A man's soul ain't a game to play

So take your promises, take your lies I'll find my strength beneath the skies
Though the pain remains, I'll stand my ground A love once lost will not tear me down
