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
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 guess I got lost in the madness of not losing you
You loved every lie until you knew

Hell we've all got 'em if I'd have been honest

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
