Both Are True
A familiar song, a quiet kitchen, and a shared laugh bring grief back into an ordinary day. “Both Are True” makes room for happiness and missing someone at once.
“Both Are True” begins in the middle of an ordinary morning. The kettle sings, the curtains move, music travels through the hall, and sunlight settles beside an empty chair. The narrator smiles at the song before remembering the person who is no longer there. Instead of turning the music off, they let the moment hold both feelings. Later, a familiar joke makes the people at the table laugh. For an instant, the narrator almost turns to share it with the absent person, then lets the laughter continue. That small moment carries the song’s central conflict. Joy can arrive, but it may bring guilt with it, as though a good day might betray the depth of the loss. The song rejects that bargain. Sorrow does not have to occupy every hour to be real, and happiness does not erase the person who is missed. A heart can feel the empty space and still let sunlight in. It can dance in the kitchen while remembering someone. Neither experience needs to cancel the other. “Both Are True” offers a gentle permission to keep living without proving grief through constant pain. The joy is not evidence that love has ended. It is one of the things life can still contain alongside love, memory, and longing.

Lyrics
The kettle sang, the curtains moved A song came through the hall I smiled before I knew the words Then stopped and felt it all The chair beside the window Was catching morning blue I didn't turn the music down I let myself miss you I thought that joy would cancel grief Or grief would steal the day But something in that melody Let both of them remain I can miss you and be happy Both are true I can feel the empty space And let the sunlight through I don't have to close the windows To remember what we knew I can miss you and be happy Both are true We gathered round the table And laughed about the rain Someone told an old familiar joke And I laughed just the same I almost turned to tell you Before the moment passed Then raised my glass and smiled again And let that laughter last I used to think that moving on Meant leaving things behind But love can change the way it lives And still remain alive I can miss you and be happy Both are true I can feel the empty space And let the sunlight through I don't have to close the windows To remember what we knew I can miss you and be happy Both are true When they ask me how I'm doing I don't know what word to choose I was dancing in the kitchen And I was thinking about you I won't trade away the sweetness Just to prove the sorrow's real There's enough room in this heart For everything I feel I can miss you and be happy Both are true I can feel the empty space And let the sunlight through I don't have to close the windows To remember what we knew I can miss you and be happy Both are true
