There Is No Truth

I stand up ready to 'fess
All my fallings and failings
And never deny it was me
I'm headed for jail

I own every stumble
And have raised every flag
For they said they knew me
But now deny they had

Should I stay when the stories all have split?
There are some things it's better to forget
What they say doesn't sound right anymore
I'm the only man they won't ignore

And I loved her quickly
Then broke out of her spell
The moment we parted
She ran to blame and tell

She had all the facts
To light torches of rage
When I saw them marshaled
I crawled into their cage

Should I stay when the stories all have split?
There are some things it's better to forget
What they say doesn't sound right anymore
I'm the only man they won't ignore

It's not the younger I love
It's the trappings of youth
Her effusive glow
Was the end of the truth

Now I look at it all
With the grazing of guise
I see how I wavered
And there are no lies

Should I stay when the stories all have split?
There are some things it's better to forget
What they say doesn't sound right anymore
I'm the only man they won't ignore
