[Intro] [Verse 1] Something changes every time you speak Another detail buried out of reach I told myself that I was seeing things Afraid of what the answers might reveal You always knew exactly what to say Just enough to make me turn away But there's a difference in your eyes When every careful word becomes a lie [Pre-Chorus] Every answer leads me somewhere else This time I won't doubt myself [Chorus] Show me the truth beneath Everything you wanted me to believe Take off the face you wear for me And let me see what I refused to see Don't give me one more alibi Don't tell me everything is fine Whatever's left, whatever it means Show me the truth beneath [Verse 2] Now I recognize the things you do How every question circles back to you The same excuses dressed in different words Making me question everything I heard You counted on me wanting to believe That love would make me easier to deceive But now the pieces finally fit And I won't close my eyes again for this [Pre-Chorus] You can tell me what I want to hear But your words don't reach me anymore [Chorus] Show me the truth beneath Everything you wanted me to believe Take off the face you wear for me And let me see what I refused to see Don't give me one more alibi Don't tell me everything is fine Whatever's left, whatever it means Show me the truth beneath [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Maybe somewhere deep inside I knew I was just too scared to follow through I held on because I couldn't bear To lose the life I thought we shared I wanted so much to believe I couldn't face what I could see But wanting never made it true And I won't lose myself for you [Final Chorus] I know the truth beneath Everything you wanted me to believe I see the face you hid from me And all the things I wouldn't let myself see You can give me one more alibi You can swear that everything is fine I don't need you to admit a thing I know the truth beneath [Outro] I know the truth beneath
