The Hard Truth

this midwest sun has been unforgiving
there must be a better way of living tonight
you know, i'm thinking of leaving
i need to do this for myself, because i can't breathe tonight

it's been a long four years since anything has happened in my favor
i've been stagnant, just waiting for a moment so i can say "see you later"

i know this isn't easy for me to do
it's the hardest part about any truth
maybe one day i'll come back to see
that nothing's really changed, except for me

this midwest wind is trapped within my sails
i'm rolling with it to wherever the hell it takes me
you know, i'm so selfish
don't blame yourself, it's been a long time coming and i can't breathe tonight

it's been a long four years since anything has happened in my favor
i've been stagnant, just waiting for a magnet to cling to, i need to

i know this isn't easy for me to do
it's the hardest part about any truth
maybe one day i'll come back to see
that everything has changed, except for me

but i highly doubt that'll happen
this town is always changing and leaving us behind
and i highly doubt we'll catch up to it
this town's forever changing, i'm leaving it tonight

i know this isn't easy for me to do
it's the hardest part about any truth

please know this isn't easy for me to do
it's the hardest part about any truth
maybe one day i'll come back to see
the nostalgia isn't worth it, are you worth it?
