If I Could Tell The Truth

If I could tell the truth, people just might see who I really am, not who I have to be.

I get so damn tired of playing by the rules.

Afraid of what I’d lose, if I could tell the truth.



Nobody wants to listen when it comes down to this.

We’d rather take the truth and twist it, than to tell it like it is.

I don’t know how we got here, there’s really no excuse.

I do it to get by, but I wouldn’t live this lie, if I could tell the truth.



If I could tell the truth, girl, we’d end up in a fight.

And I would still be wrong, and you would still be right.

We could stay right here another year or two.

But I’m already gone, if I could tell the truth.
