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.
