All Truth Is Bitter

[Verse 1]
I fell asleep with the TV on
Soldiers with torches were running up stairs
Keep the fire lit, keep the light shining
Yelled their captain to the dawn
From the top of the lighthouse
'Til our ships make it home

[Chorus]
All truth is bitter, all truth is bitter

[Verse 2]
We divide a house in two
Half for me half for you
The blade of a knife set on a table
Its glint in the sun, a jab
In the unremarkable noon
Would that this cut as clean

[Chorus]
All truth is bitter, all truth is bitter, bitter
All truth is bitter, all truth is bitter, bitter

[Bridge]
And the truth is that she loved me
More than anything else in the world
More than anything else in the world

[Outro]
Then I lied to the dog:
I'll be back, I said
And he stayed, good dog
Cocked his head
