To: the most beautiful being in the room
Human being, I love living with you
in the Truth.
And if the power of Truth takes me away from you,
I’ll have to love living that life too.

And if it takes you away from me, well
we already know how painful that would be.

It would be really, really, really, really
bad
but for all the good and all the hard times we’ve had
I love you and I miss you and I’m glad.

And this is just a love song
it’s dedicated to my pain
dedicated to the times
that I’ve cried in the rain
it’s dedicated to my own dedication.

And this is that sensation
when you’re feeling really sad
and you realize that sadness is beautiful.
Sadness is suitable
and it’s totally appropriate
for everything you’ve been through

This is that place where sadness and love can co-exist
you feel neither anger nor listlessness.

And maybe you feel love.
Maybe love songs can speak to your sorrow,
fall in love with tomorrow
and yesterday
re-learn how to play

And this is just a love song.
It’s dedicated to you.
Dedicated to everything you’ve been through.
This is for you.

And if I showed up at your door, would you talk to me
Or would you call the police
and get me off the streets
because to love you right now would be crazy

I just came looking for the truth
because I love the truth
and I thought that I loved you too
but you were just a lie
and that’s fine
it’s your life
just don’t bring your lies into mine.

And maybe you really do believe that I’m crazy
OK
praise be to God.
I didn’t need you.
I just came looking for the truth.
It’s sad that I had to drag it out of you
and your paranoid parents too

And this is just a love song
it’s dedicated to this huge misunderstanding
dedicated to the year you left me stranded
dedicated to this place where we’ve landed
to the strange and subtle ways that we planned it
to the space and the grace in the misalignment
of all these planets.

No, this isn’t for you.
This is dedicated to the Truth.
