The Truth Will Tell

Stop saying things we know you don't mean,
Like I don't like you and you like when I'm mean.
People say we're the happiest they've seen,
But they don't know the half of what's real.

When I'm gone you miss me more,
But when we're close you ignore.
It's the same with me, I'm no better,
And you still cuddle my old sweater.

I don't know why but this is it...
No last call no goodbye kiss.
We know the feeling but we'll never tell...
The joy of feeling sad, like heaven in hell.

We Know the right but doeth it not,
All lights on red and we can't stop.
I guess it's not us but the truth inside,
can't hide the way we feel even if we tried.
