Songtext von If I Could Tell The Truth

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.
