The Truth

You should've never cried
I should've never lied
That night in Jackson
I should've come clean
Told ya everything
Instead of all this acting
Like who I wanna be
Instead of who I really am

It's hard to be open
Baby I'm broken
And I was terrified
If you'd have ever known
You'd have been gone
Before the next sunrise
You were so put together
And even my messes are a mess
So what chance did I have 'cause

I've broken every commandment
How could you ever love that
I guess I didn't understand that you wanted to
If I'd have known what I had when I had it
I would've shown you every inch of the sadness
I guess I got lost in the madness of not losing you
You loved every lie until you knew
You would've even loved the truth

Girl I know you think
You never meant a thing
I was just killing time
And everything I said
Even in your bed
Was just a worn-out line
I know you hate me
And I gave you every right
'Cause I tried to hide that

I've broken every commandment
How could you ever love that
I guess I didn't understand that you wanted to
If I'd have known what I had when I had it
I would've shown you every inch of the sadness
I guess I got lost in the madness of not losing you
You loved every lie until you knew
You would've even loved the truth

Everybody loses when you hide your bruises
From a different life
Hell we've all got 'em if I'd have been honest
You'd be here tonight but

I've broken every commandment
How could you ever love that
I didn't understand that you wanted to
If I'd have known what I had when I had it
I would've shown you every inch of the sadness
I guess I got lost in the madness of not losing you
You loved every lie until you knew
You would've even loved the truth
You would've even loved the truth
