I can’t close my eyes anymore
I can’t look away
I can’t bury my head in the sand and
Pretend everything’s okay
The truth hurts
But it’s always exactly what you need
The truth hurts
But if you face the truth, it’ll set you free
I can’t go on living this way
I can’t live a lie
I swallow my anger, wash it down with my sorrow
And it’s eating me alive
The truth hurts
But it’s always exactly what you need
The truth hurts
But if you face the truth, it’ll set you free
Cover a lie with another lie if you think that’ll do the trick
Will you be able to cover the cost when your secrets make you sick?
I can’t remember the lies I’ve told
I can’t keep my story straight
The truth is coming hard and fast
And I can’t move out of the way
The truth hurts
But it’s always exactly what you need
The truth hurts
But if you face the truth, it’ll set you free
I can’t go on living this way
I can’t live a lie
