"If All I Thought Were True" lyrics - CITY AND COLOUR

If priests and princes' hollowed shadowed souls
If devils are but angels cast to know
I live forever with a sharp regret
It might be a surprise to know I never wished for death

A hint of misery made its way along
To those who've never harmed or never wronged

If honesty changed the hearts of men
Who could contend?
If all I thought were true

In this great divide that is my life
I fear to think of all I'd undo
If all I thought were true...

Even my own ears would never care to know
What deep inside ourselves out hearts behold
A sky in shards, our world's unraveled parts
Impossible to piece as one in our unending dark
