The Truth Hurts

Why does the truth hurt?
Because we lie
That’s no lie
Even, I lie

And That's the truth

That's why the truth hurts

JAN!!! Never hide if you do you are only hiding from yourself, people seem to feel power over others through their lies. You are no better then I and I am no better then you we are equal and we are family and sometimes family needs a spanking.

Hi Bobby, The truth hurts because it cuts deeps and reaveals/shows what's real. Human beings are not perfect ,so anyone that saids that don't lie are haven't lied. Wait for it ...... That's a big fat lie. With that being said we all should strive to be the best version of ourselves by striving to be honest as we can be:-) Alexis
