The Truth That Really Hurts
lies are over-rated
truth can be much worse
lies may cause a little pain
but are often only words
truth is you don't care
and y' never really did.
love is in the distance with
all o' her motives hid
you'll not be the last and you wouldn't be the first
you put a man to task, it's the truth that really hurts
the truth that really hurts
lies are complicated
it’s hard to keep them straight
I felt a little sorry
when yours were out of date
truth can be too painful
I didn’t want to know
and love can be elusive
when putting on a show
you'll not be the last and you wouldn't be the first
you can cry or laugh, it's the truth that really hurts
the truth that really hurts
no one's keeping the score
but this is how it ends
I don't really care for
imaginary friends
you'll not be the last and you wouldn't be the first
'cuts me clean in half, it's the truth that really hurts
it's the truth that really hurts
the truth that really hurts
