Inspired by Face the Truth, written by John Norum, sung by Glenn Hughes
She doesn't share my feeling
Sends my senses reeling,
I have no reply
I guess I'll have to cry
Face the truth and say goodbye
I do not belong here
I can no longer fear
and my destiny deny
From my home I fly
Face the truth and say goodbye
Years upon years of pain
In my body and my brain
Procedure gone awry
I'll adjust by and by
Face the truth and say goodbye
A lovely human being
My mistakes sent her fleeing
She left me one July
Such girls in short supply
Face the truth and say goodbye
It became a pressure dome
Then a broken home
Our bond we did untie
Looking back to sigh
Face the truth and say goodbye
Did I tell him he was the best,
Before he left the nest?
He's a lovely guy,
I, at least, did try
Face the truth and say goodbye
Our stay on earth to sever
We don't live forever
Today's my day to die
Time to hit the sky
Face the truth and say goodbye
