The Truth Is A Terrible Thing
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.
Nervous and you're tearing at the seams
The lights are too bright and you've got cold feet
You looked apart, and you're only seventeen
Can you drag me up and show me what we're missing out on
Don't waste your time
We've heard it all before
We've had enough of hangs on and "friends" we didn't want
Waste your time
We've heard it all before
We've had it up to heels and head and we won't take no more
You're a star but you haven't been turned on
Think you can shine
This way the whole way to the top
She said oh woah oh woah
Are you sure it's what you want?
Call it luck
Call it too much
Don't waste your time
We've heard it all before
We've had enough of hangs on and "friends" we didn't want
Waste your time
We've heard it all before
We've had it up to heels and head and we won't take no more
The truth is a terrible thing, don't you think? [x2]
