Ashton Haze - Simple Truths Lyrics

I met a man that was
Gray haired and tired
Older and wiser than myself
And I thought of him as a
Good source for answers
For a young man with questions about love
So I said to him would you
Give me your two cents
On my how to keep my love long and strong
And he smiled, and said to me

Don't chase forever
It'll only come to you
And don't try to hold onto
All the things that are out of your hands
These are simple truths that are
Hard to learn
But trust me that it's best to learn them now
'Cause all these little rules may seem harsh and cruel
But they're the truth so listen now and listen well

When he was done I felt
Empty and hollow
To think that all my sorrows would come true
I wanted better news, than he could give
So I looked at him with some
Slight discontent
And I said what's the rest and he said son
You can't outrun this

So don't chase forever
It'll only come to you
And don't try to hold onto
All the things that are out of your hands
These are simple truths that are
Hard to learn
But trust me that it's best to learn them now
Because all these little rules may seem harsh and cruel
But they're the truth so listen now and listen well
