Tell the Truth

I couldn't tell the truth if I wanted to
I couldn't tell the truth if I wanted to
I couldn't 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 you saw all my love
When he came into our lives
Does it hurt inside
To know that I'll be there for him?
I swear that I will fight
'Til I die if that's what it takes
But for now I'm alive
And I'm standing tall for heaven's sake

I couldn't tell the truth if I wanted to
I couldn't tell the truth if I wanted to
I couldn't 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 you saw all my love
When he came into our lives
Does it hurt inside
To know that I'll be there for him?
I swear that I will fight
'Til I die if that's what it takes
But for now I'm alive
And I'm standing tall for heaven's sake

These are the moments where I feel my heart skip a beat
Trails of adulthood, only ice below my feet
These are the 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
The choices I made, this is me living without you
