Static Green Reference Mix Drum - Tempo - Fix

Mixed Dementia associated with both Vascular and Altzheimers disease, is a terminal diagnosis where we say goodbye to our loved ones a little bit every day over a long period of time.  At 49 years of marriage, this is our time for Carol and I to share our long goodbye together.

THE SIMPLE TRUTH

the simple truth
is often hard for me
to let my heart
have the room to speak
perfect words don't come easily
to a man like me

i'm bound to trip
in any lover's dance
but i know
i can't miss this chance
might be the one opportunity
for a man like me
  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you need to know
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i love you
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;from deep in my soul
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;honestly
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;please believe
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i love you
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the simple truth
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;from a man like me

can't say there's more
than just what you see
no secret door
no fancy poetry
the moon and stars don't line up behind
a man like me
  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you need to know...

The Simple Truth

HARD

i don't know if you know about me
but i'm the guy that broke her heart
that's not someone you set out to be
you don't sign up for the part
through unexpected twists and turns
sometimes you turn the wrong card
you leave someone afraid of love
suspicious, hurt, hard
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;it's my fault
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i'm to blame
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i dimmed that light
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i cut that flame
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;it's on me
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i'm the reason she put up her guard
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I broke her
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I made her
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;hard

it all started as roses and rose
sweet promises in the night
i loved her i can honestly say
she and i just felt right
without warning everything changed
now she's sullen, sad, and scarred
i left her afraid of love
haunted, hurt, hard
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;it's my fault...
