Speak The Truth

[Verse 1] Got a flat on the freeway Wallet gone Can’t pay the tow Key’s hiding in the kitchen somewhere Guess I should have left long ago You keep saying it’s a long road “Give it time We’ll be all right” But every mile that I walk with you Feels like a circle in the night [Pre-Chorus] You look through me Like you’re looking through glass Say “maybe Someday” While the days just pass [Chorus] Speak the truth Don’t dress it up in sugar-coated lines If you’re done with me Stop reading from a script that isn’t mine Just say you’re not interested Quit spinning me around I’d rather feel a clean cut Than drown in every sound Speak the truth Or don’t speak at all right now [Verse 2] You talk big about flying Say you’re ready for the sky But your feet stay on my front porch And I’m tired of asking why You promise me tomorrow Then you disappear by noon All I hear is more excuses While my heart hums the same old tune [Pre-Chorus] Where did all Those honest hearts go You say “it’s complicated” But I already know [Chorus] Speak the truth Don’t dress it up in sugar-coated lines If you’re done with me Stop reading from a script that isn’t mine Just say you’re not interested Quit spinning me around I’d rather feel a clean cut Than drown in every sound Speak the truth Or don’t speak at all right now [Bridge] What happened to the truth we swore on? The one that met me at the door? Now it’s hiding in the corners Of stories I’ve heard before (ohh) I’ve walked this heavy highway Now I’m ready to untie If you won’t walk beside me I’ll learn alone to fly [Chorus] So speak the truth Don’t dress it up in sugar-coated lines If you’re done with me Stop reading from a script that isn’t mine Just say you’re not interested Quit spinning me around (around) I’d rather feel a clean cut Than choke on every sound Speak the truth Or don’t speak at all right now
