I pretty fervently believe in this song's message. There may be such as thing as objective truth, but I doubt we come into contact with it very often.
lyrics
Yes I heard what he said to you
But I also heard what you said too
You can say he's the one who started it
But either way, I don't want any part of it
Everybody knows the guy's a major jerk
But we also know that you're a piece of work
Either he's your best friend or he gives you nothing but abuse
Always Three Sides to Every Story -
Your side, mine, and the truth
He walks away. He just broke your heart
Heartlessly he tore it all apart
But I'm sure it was just a coincidence
That you spent last night alone with his best friend
So before you go and take a baseball bat to his new car
Try to remember, Sugar, no one wins that kind of war
You've heard it before, don't mean to bore you
Life ain't fair but that ain't news
Always Three Sides to Every Story -
Your side, mine, and the truth
I'm no better than anybody else
I can't fool you so I try to fool myself
We all gotta do what we can to get by
You claim the high ground, but baby so do I
But the biggest difference between me and you
Is that I do not believe my self deception's true
Wouldn't mind a little shot at glory, you win a few, the rest you lose
Always Three Sides to Every Story -
Your side, mine, and the truth
It's much too late to say you're sorry 'cause you took an eye for a tooth
Always Three Sides to Every Story -
Your side, my side, and the truth
I've been the hunter, I've been the quarry
You take the rough as you take the smooth
Always Three Sides to Every Story -
Your side, mine, and the truth
You get to pick your friends, don't worry
But you gotta live with what you choose
Always Three Sides to Every Story -
Your side, mine, and the truth
