Lyrics
Tell 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.
it's time to say a word
say it like you mean it
he spoke with a tone of hurt
as my eyes roll back
hoping for the end
one too many condensending battles for a friend
say another word
and i'll sit on the floor
keep talking down to me
your not only losing me
your losing what's in store
i'll try to stay awake
when i go
when i get home
i'll try to stay awake
over the phone
so i can tell the truth
tell the truth
something keeps on getting in the way
between you and I on summer holiday yeah
just wait one minute more
cause my heart is halfway torn and your already gone
and your already gone
i'll try to stay awake (so i can tell you)
when i go
when i get home
i'll try to stay awake (so i can tell you)
over the phone
so i can tell the truth
say another word
face first on the floor
keep talking down to me
losing what was almost meant to be
i'll try to stay awake (so i can tell you)
when i go
when i get home
i'll try to stay awake (so i can tell you)
over the phone
so i can tell the truth
