The Truth Is
It's hard to come back home again
Slip into who you were then
To take a look at who you were
And try to try as hard as her
How you try, you try, and you lie
No wonder it's so hard to find
Sentences to speak your mind
Your story's full of stops and starts
You left out all the ugly parts
And oh, you bend and you twist
And oh, you've earned permission to exist
But the truth is the cost is too high
To keep splitting yourself to fit somebody's lie
And the truth may be hurtful to hear
But you must disappoint before you disappear
And the truth is
You don't know what the truth is
Now you've come back home again
You find you're still who you were then
Cracking codes to win the prize
Constantly in compromise
And so your life makes no sense
'Cause oh, you've hidden all the evidence
But the truth is you've gotta come clean
You can't run and hide if you want to be seen
And the truth is the lies have to go
If there's somebody out there who you want to know
And the truth is
You want them to know what the truth is
And the truth is
It's up to you what the truth is
And the truth is...
Slip into who you were then
To take a look at who you were
And try to try as hard as her
How you try, you try, and you lie
No wonder it's so hard to find
Sentences to speak your mind
Your story's full of stops and starts
You left out all the ugly parts
And oh, you bend and you twist
And oh, you've earned permission to exist
But the truth is the cost is too high
To keep splitting yourself to fit somebody's lie
And the truth may be hurtful to hear
But you must disappoint before you disappear
And the truth is
You don't know what the truth is
Now you've come back home again
You find you're still who you were then
Cracking codes to win the prize
Constantly in compromise
And so your life makes no sense
'Cause oh, you've hidden all the evidence
But the truth is you've gotta come clean
You can't run and hide if you want to be seen
And the truth is the lies have to go
If there's somebody out there who you want to know
And the truth is
You want them to know what the truth is
And the truth is
It's up to you what the truth is
And the truth is...
