The Truth Hurts
The truth hurts
It never works
I'll bury it inside
If I don't lie
Things will go awry
Because I could damage your pride
The truth hurts
It never works
I'll bury it alive
I won't tell
I'll walk on eggshells
If we're going to survive
When you ask my opinion
I answer earnestly
You disagree with derision
Honesty isn't the best policy
The truth hurts
It never works
I'll bury it inside
If I don't lie
Things will go awry
Because I could damage your pride
The truth hurts
It never works
I'll bury it alive
I won't tell
I'll walk on eggshells
If we're going to survive
When I make a correction
All you see is rejection
I must tread lightly or you'll bite me
There's so much at stake
And I know you can't take the truth
Ooh
If I don't lie
Things will go awry
Because I could damage your pride
The truth hurts
It never works
I'll bury it alive
I won't tell
I'll walk on eggshells
If we're going to survive
Now when we have a conversation
Newfangled communication
It takes all my concentration
Not a new interpretation
There's no time for explanation
Nothing needs investigation
Don't use imagination
There is no big revelation
What a delicate operation
Because the truth hurts
It never works
I'll bury it inside
If I don't lie
Things will go awry
Because I could damage your pride
The truth hurts
It never works
I'll bury it alive
I won't tell
I'll walk on eggshells
If we're going to survive
It never works
I'll bury it inside
If I don't lie
Things will go awry
Because I could damage your pride
The truth hurts
It never works
I'll bury it alive
I won't tell
I'll walk on eggshells
If we're going to survive
When you ask my opinion
I answer earnestly
You disagree with derision
Honesty isn't the best policy
The truth hurts
It never works
I'll bury it inside
If I don't lie
Things will go awry
Because I could damage your pride
The truth hurts
It never works
I'll bury it alive
I won't tell
I'll walk on eggshells
If we're going to survive
When I make a correction
All you see is rejection
I must tread lightly or you'll bite me
There's so much at stake
And I know you can't take the truth
Ooh
If I don't lie
Things will go awry
Because I could damage your pride
The truth hurts
It never works
I'll bury it alive
I won't tell
I'll walk on eggshells
If we're going to survive
Now when we have a conversation
Newfangled communication
It takes all my concentration
Not a new interpretation
There's no time for explanation
Nothing needs investigation
Don't use imagination
There is no big revelation
What a delicate operation
Because the truth hurts
It never works
I'll bury it inside
If I don't lie
Things will go awry
Because I could damage your pride
The truth hurts
It never works
I'll bury it alive
I won't tell
I'll walk on eggshells
If we're going to survive
