Three Sides

Thomas Riley Smith c.2022

There's three sides to every story,
yours and mine and the truth.
There's three sides to every story,
so what's an honest heart to do?

Say isn't that a paperback
lyin' by the side of the road
somebody told us that it
had a happy ending.

Pick it up and run.
I've seen the movie, but
it's never quite the same.
A classic story, but
the names have all been changed.
Pick it up and run.
Meet me 'round the corner
from the last place that we were OK.

There’s three sides to every story,
and one is told with tired sighs.
One’s too wise for understanding,
but one just wants to make it right.

All are flawed and all are perfect,
mysteries with no suspense.
There’s three sides to every story.
Now honey, tell me yours again.

Meey me 'round the corner
from the last place
that we were OK.

Come with me, don't let go,
we're in love, that's all we know.
Come with me, listen with your eyes,
hear with your heart
and fly with your mind.
We’re in love, that's all we know.
Come with me, don't let go.
Come with me baby be mine.
