I’m Learning How To Tell Myself the Truth Lyrics by John Moreland

LP5

2020

[Verse 1]
Congratulations on your book
Your sharp tongued wit had me shook
Thought about trying a little too long
Give it up now, the good Lord's gone
[Verse 2]
But we could put a record on
We could dance on this shattered glass 'til dawn
We could try to make it disappear
All the cold we hold so dear
[Chorus]
I'm learning how to tell myself the truth
Forget all the shit I used to think I knew
Forgive me if I cannot give you proof
I just wanna move you
[Verse 3]
Seems to me this shindig's doomed
You left your oldest costumes in the other room
Been a little while, word got loose
Mama's little martyr with the bible belt noose
[Verse 4]
Well, the leper at the door says let me in
I slept right through the daylight again
They're throwing roses at our feet
Talk is cheap, but man, so are we
[Chorus]
I'm learning how to tell myself the truth
Forget all the shit I used to think I knew
Forgive me if I cannot give you proof
I just wanna move you
[Verse 3]
And tell me, when you look into my eyes
Do you still see a soul you recognize?
These golden gods keep telling me their lies
But I just wanna be true
I just wanna move you
