Tell the Truth
I could tell the truth if I wanted to
I could tell the truth if I wanted to
I could tell the truth if I wanted to, wanted to
It's so sad to see
You're working me over
Oh Lord, again?!
I'm so glad to be... partially sober
I've lost too many friends
How can I compete with the man that I promised you?
I tried so hard to bend
Don't tell me who I was or who I want to be
You're doing it again
I can tell that you saw all my love
When he came into our lives
Does it hurt you inside
To know that I'll be there for him?
I swear that I will fight
'Till I die if that's what it takes
But for now, I'm alive
And I'm standing tall, for Haven's sake
I could tell the truth if I wanted to
I could tell the truth if I wanted to
I could tell the truth if I wanted to, wanted to... to
I've thrown ambition to the fire
Hope melted away
You let your promises expire
And I swear that you'll never hear the end of this
I can tell that you saw all my love
When he came into our lives
Does it hurt you inside
To know that I'll be there for him?
I swear that I will fight
'Till I die if that's what it takes
But for now, I'm alive
And I'm standing tall, for Haven's sake
These are the moments where I feel my heart skip a beat
Trails of adulthood, only ice below my feet
These are moments that I feel your hand fade away
These are the moments that I wish that I had fucking stayed
These are the moments that I wish that I had put the pills down
These are the moments that I wish that I was in the ground
These are the moments where I wish that I could tell the truth
These are the choices that I made, this is me living without you
I could tell the truth if I wanted to
I could tell the truth if I wanted to, wanted to
It's so sad to see
You're working me over
Oh Lord, again?!
I'm so glad to be... partially sober
I've lost too many friends
How can I compete with the man that I promised you?
I tried so hard to bend
Don't tell me who I was or who I want to be
You're doing it again
I can tell that you saw all my love
When he came into our lives
Does it hurt you inside
To know that I'll be there for him?
I swear that I will fight
'Till I die if that's what it takes
But for now, I'm alive
And I'm standing tall, for Haven's sake
I could tell the truth if I wanted to
I could tell the truth if I wanted to
I could tell the truth if I wanted to, wanted to... to
I've thrown ambition to the fire
Hope melted away
You let your promises expire
And I swear that you'll never hear the end of this
I can tell that you saw all my love
When he came into our lives
Does it hurt you inside
To know that I'll be there for him?
I swear that I will fight
'Till I die if that's what it takes
But for now, I'm alive
And I'm standing tall, for Haven's sake
These are the moments where I feel my heart skip a beat
Trails of adulthood, only ice below my feet
These are moments that I feel your hand fade away
These are the moments that I wish that I had fucking stayed
These are the moments that I wish that I had put the pills down
These are the moments that I wish that I was in the ground
These are the moments where I wish that I could tell the truth
These are the choices that I made, this is me living without you
