Lyrics

Can’t Handle The Truth

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You knew something was scandalous

You told me you could handle it

But if I told you everything you wouldn’t believe me

It’s someone that you met before

You even shook his hand at the door

It was last 4th of July when we got into that big fight

You seemed more concerned with the girls by the pool

He held my conversation, something you don’t do

You left me vulnerable, so irresponsible, why are you confused?

If you could handle the truth I'd never lie to you (never lie to you)

If you did what you’re supposed to do I’d still be with you (still be with you)

You’re so busy loving yourself, there’s no room for anyone else

But the truth is

If you could handle the truth I’d never (never)

I would never lie, never lie, never lie

But you don’t even try, even try, even try

I hate lying to you but you can’t handle the truth

I would never lie, never lie, never lie

But you don’t even try, even try, even try

I hate lying to you but you can’t handle the truth

I’m so fucking mad at you

Look at what you made me do

You turned a good girl so bad and it’s all your fault

But you couldn’t give a little love

Your affection would have been enough

But now I’m the one up in the club and I’m leaving my phone off

Yeah, which brings me back to that day by the pool

He invited me out something you used to do

Wanted to tell you but deep down I knew

Your ego’s so big that it might leave you bruised

If you could handle the truth I'd never lie to you (I'd never lie to you)

If you did what you’re supposed to do I’d still be with you

You’re so busy loving yourself, there’s no room for anyone else

I just don't belong here

If you could handle the truth I’d never (I never wanted to baby)

I would never lie, never lie, never lie (lie to you)

But you don’t even try, even try, even try (look at what you made me do)

I hate lying to you but you can’t handle the truth (look at what you made me do)

I would never lie, never lie, never lie (it's all your fault)

But you don’t even try, even try, even try

I hate lying to you but you can’t handle the truth (can't handle the truth)
