Missy Higgins – A Complicated Truth (Official Video)

[Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] so I was driving around in the car one day with my 5-year-old daughter in the back not long after her father and I had split up and she started asking questions all of a sudden like why can't daddy live in the house with us anymore and how can you just decide to stop being married after you've given each other rings and made promises to each other and as you can imagine it was just heartbreaking like every question was a tiny little dagger to my heart because I just didn't know what to say to her so later that night I decided to try to answer her questions in a song so that maybe one day she could listen to it and understand things a little bit better this is called a complicated truth [Applause] the trees are swaying out the window and you're not with me today you're with him and that's okay that's okay I hope you're run and around in circles hope you're laughing till you drop hope you're feeling safe I hope you feel feeling loved the days are longer when you're not here I've been staring at the sky wondering what I used to do with all my time you're a universe of Starlight bursting out of every seam and the house is so dim quiet when you leave you've been asking lots of questions lately trying to figure out why the endings in your books don't match our and it breaks my heart trying to find some words you'll understand cuz baby nothing about this was in the FL [Music] all that I can tell you is a complicated truth I'll always love your daddy cuz Together We Made You from the moment I first met him I knew everything would change your daddy woke my heart up in the kitchen that Day He Wore no metal along the road of ESP and or of Wars but never felt so seen and so adored we loved each other's folded burs we kissed each other's wounds till one day we were opening them [Music] to and I know your books do like that I know it's hard to take a promise she is a promise you say and know that I can tell you is a complicated truth I'll always love your dad but now I love is something new [Music] now I'm walking past your empty bedroom turning off the lights and I'm hoping that he Tu to in because I haven't had the answers lately haven't known what to say when you ask me why love runs away and all that I can give you are these complicated truths sometimes heaviness is the hardest thing to choose but I'll Always Love You D cuz Together We Made You [Music] [Applause]
