[Intro] [Solitary steel-string guitar strum] [Quiet foot tap starts] [Verse 1] We were sitting in the kitchen on a Tuesday night Everything seemed steady and everything seemed right But then your pocket buzzed and you picked up the line And the voice you projected was a sinister sign [Refrain:] I saw your spirit shift as your veil fell away The brightest light in the middle of the day Turn into a stranger with a frozen-cold heart The cruelest echo of my world falling apart [Chorus] [Hook: Rhythmic strumming] One simple call and the wool left my eyes I saw through the sugar and the hollowed-out lies The truth is a cold and a bitter medicine I’m walking away from the shape that you’re in The truth is a cold and a bitter medicine The truth is a cold and a bitter medicine [Verse 2] You didn't even notice that I was in the room As you filled up the silence with a heavy kind of gloom You crushed my soul with a sharp jagged blow The meanest betrayal that I’ll ever know Your outside is a garden but your soil is all rot You’re a cheater in the way that a good soul is not Nobody else knows my need to be free But I’m counting the moments until I can be [Chorus] [Hook: Rhythmic strumming] One simple call and the wool left my eyes I saw through the sugar and the hollowed-out lies The truth is a cold and a bitter medicine I’m walking away from the shape that you’re in The truth is a cold and a bitter medicine The truth is a cold and a bitter medicine [Bridge] [Refrain: Slow building intensity] They all see a diamond with a shimmer of pride But they haven't felt the emptiness inside I’m handing back the ring worn thin long ago It only took a second for your cheating to show I’m checking out early and I’m closing the door I don't need to hear a single word anymore [Chorus] [Hook: Rhythmic strumming] One simple call and the wool left my eyes I saw through the sugar and the hollowed-out lies The truth is a cold and a bitter medicine I’m walking away from the shape that you’re in The truth is a cold and a bitter medicine The truth is a cold and a bitter medicine [Outro] [Slowing guitar pick] Yeah just one
