A Complicated Truth
The trees are swaying out the window
And you're not with me today
You're with him and that's okay
That's okay
I hope you're running 'round in circles
Hope you're laughing 'til you drop
Hope you're feeling safe
I hope you're feeling loved
The days are longer when you're not here
I've been staring at the sky
Wondering what I used to do with all my time
You're a universe of starlight
Bursting out of every seam
And the house is so damn quiet when you leave
You've been asking lots of questions lately
Trying to figure out
While the endings in your books don't match ours
And it breaks my heart
Trying to find some words you'll understand
'Cause baby nothing about this was in the plan
All that I can tell you is a complicated truth
I'll always love your daddy
'Cause together we made you
From the moment I first met him
I knew everything would change
Your daddy woke my heart up in the kitchen that day
He wore no medal on and rode a Vespa, not a horse
But I'd never felt so seen and so adored
We loved each other's faulty parts
We kissed each other's wounds
'Til one day we were opening them too
And I know your books don't end like that
I know it's hard to take
"A promise is a promise," you say
And all that I can tell you is a complicated truth
I'll always love your daddy
But now our love is something new
(Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh)
Now I'm walking past your empty bedroom
Turning off the lights
And I'm hoping that he's tucked you in tight
Because I haven't had the answers lately
I haven't known what to say
When you ask me why love runs away
And all that I can give you are these complicated truths
Sometimes happiness is the hardest thing to choose
But I'll always love your daddy
'Cause together we made you
And you're not with me today
You're with him and that's okay
That's okay
I hope you're running 'round in circles
Hope you're laughing 'til you drop
Hope you're feeling safe
I hope you're feeling loved
The days are longer when you're not here
I've been staring at the sky
Wondering what I used to do with all my time
You're a universe of starlight
Bursting out of every seam
And the house is so damn quiet when you leave
You've been asking lots of questions lately
Trying to figure out
While the endings in your books don't match ours
And it breaks my heart
Trying to find some words you'll understand
'Cause baby nothing about this was in the plan
All that I can tell you is a complicated truth
I'll always love your daddy
'Cause together we made you
From the moment I first met him
I knew everything would change
Your daddy woke my heart up in the kitchen that day
He wore no medal on and rode a Vespa, not a horse
But I'd never felt so seen and so adored

And all that I can give you are these complicated truths
Sometimes happiness is the hardest thing to choose
But I'll always love your daddy
'Cause together we made you
