If I Could Tell The Truth

If I could tell the truth, people just might see Who I really am, not who I have to be I get so damn tired of playing by the rules Afraid of what I'd lose, if I could tell the truth Nobody wants to listen, when it comes down to this We'd rather take the truth and twist it, than to tell it like it is I don't know how we got here, there's really no excuse I do it to get by, but I wouldn't live this lie, if I could tell the truth If I could tell the truth, girl, we'd end up in a fight And I would still be wrong, and you would still be right We could stay right here another year or two But I'm already gone, if I could tell the truth Nobody wants to listen, when it comes down to this We'd rather take the truth and twist it, than to tell it like it is I don't know how we got here, there's really no excuse I do it to get by, but I wouldn't live this lie, if I could tell the truth I do it to get by, but I wouldn't live this lie, if I could tell the truth
