The Truth
I'm so sorry that you're in this tough position
Now I wish that I could turn back time
To before you ever learned that I'm
In love with someone else, confirming your suspicion
After everything I tried to do
Just know I never lied to you
I didn't tell the whole story
But I was never dishonest
This was so difficult for me
But I never broke a promise
I'm not a liar
There's no quenching desire
I'm clenching the wire
As tensions grow higher
All I ever wanted was your trust
I swore to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth
Well two out of three ain't bad
I like to think I used to know you but somethings coming loose
With you doubting me like that
I don't like the implications
Of any of your accusations
Well I have no excuse to show you
But cut me from from the noose
I do have some restraint
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
I'm so sorry that we're in this situation
And I know right now you feel betrayed
Like this was some surreal charade
But I'm not lying when I make this declaration
That she doesn't feel the same a bit
So nothing ever came of it
You broke me down and rebuilt me
I'm never going to leave you
You've got me feeling so guilty
'Cause it kills me to deceive you
I'm not a liar
There's no quenching desire
I'm clenching the wire
As tensions grow higher
All I ever wanted was your trust
I swore to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth
Well two out of three ain't bad
I like to think I used to know you but somethings coming loose
With you doubting me like that
I don't like the implications
Of any of your accusations
Well I have no excuse to show you,
But cut me from from the noose
I do have some restraint
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
Yeah
I'll place my hand on a bible
I don't even plan on survival
Just throw me the book and show me the look of doubt that began on arrival
When I walked in the room
Now you're talking of doom, but I'm not gonna fume as I'm locked in a tomb
Cause I'm dead from a shotgun wound
Heard the sound of the cock and a boom
I don't wanna flip tonight, can we skip the fight, you're my kryptonite
There's no script to write, and I won't jump ship despite your words having a vindictive bite
As I stand accused, this trial I don't plan to lose
This is propaganda news, it's a grand illusion, here's an offer that you can't refuse
Let's drop this investigation, In my own estimation, we never had the best relationship
But I never meant to test your patience
Just rest your case and let's vacation to a different destination
Some stress de-escalation might subdue your reservations
I don't wanna fight back
We were finally on the right track
And I might crack down
I could use a light smack
There's a slight lack of focus
All I see is white-black-brown
My lawyer's talking and he's sure to sell the proof
If the jury finds me guilty just remember that
I swore to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth
Well two out of three ain't bad
I like to think I used to know you but somethings coming loose
With you doubting me like that
I don't like the implications
Of any of your accusations
Well I have no excuse to show you,
But cut me from from the noose
I do have some restraint
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
Two out of three ain't bad
Yeah, I swore to tell the truth
I feel like a failure
Now I wish that I could turn back time
To before you ever learned that I'm
In love with someone else, confirming your suspicion
