Can't Handle The Truth

We had the way sent from above
then kept the parts we like,
and handed back the rest and now
we don’t even think twice.

It’s like it never happened yeah,
just like it never even was,
but there is no escaping it.
It’s coming back because

He’s coming back yes, it is true
then how will things play out?
In one day can we just adjust?
We know that life’s about -

having the opportunity
to learn to live his ways.
So then how is it possible
we’ll change in just one day?
 
We won’t, don’t fool yourselves
because we’ve played this all so couth,
we’ll someday have to face the fact…
we can’t handle the truth.
