I wrote a song to help me getting used to living in my OH's reality

[dasntn]

This may not be of much interest to anyone else, maybe I am being self indulgent, but I do find it hard to sometimes have to lie to my OH, but I know that it is easier for her. It's all the little things, agreeing with things that aren't right or true, but what she believes.

To help deal with it, I wrote a song, and recorded it with my musical friend, and it's called What Is Right? It seems I can't put a link to it on here, as I haven't posted 10 times, but if you serach Facebook for Nex't'nothin you should be able to find a link to the song.

I had to get my friend to sing the words, as it is too painful to do myself.

These are the lyrics

I’ve been trying all my life
To do no wrong, but do what’s right
Ever since my love for you
We vowed together to be true

We’ve been together so long now, I know
Open and honest our partnership flows
Good times and hard times, but always we’d mend
And I believed this is how we would end

I’ve been trying all my life
To do no wrong, but do what’s right
Now a change has come to you
How can I keep my words true

You see things now that I just cannot see
Mem’ries arrive that are unknown to me
But you are sure that your world is so true
Should I live in your world to keep faith with you

You were the heart of so much of my life
Families and children and work and home time
But now your memories cloud into mist
Live for the moment is how we exist

I’ve been trying all my life
To do no wrong, but do what’s right
Now I know that lies to you
Are how I keep our love vow true

And I will keep all our memories safe
Pass to our children their future to make
As our love passes from one life to next
Together Eternal our love resurrects

Well done. That's lovely. It's so hard, isn't it, but I think the important thing is that we are lying to them to cause them less hurt than telling them the sometimes brutal and cruel truth would.

That's a beautiful, poignant song.
