[Thank you satinrain 👉 https://suno.com/@satinrain] [Why Can’t I Tell The Truth 🎶 https://suno.com/song/b59d6d96-551e-415e-b181-90bad9b9f0aa] [Intro] Mmm... Mmm... Tell the truth... Tell the truth... [Verse 1] I am sitting in the dark Trying not to make a sound Like the shadows might forgive me If I never turn around There’s no way to take it back All the little lies I told They were easy in the moment Now they’re heavy, now they’re cold I put on a different face Every time I came undone Like I could hide the damage If I smiled at everyone [Pre-Chorus] I was scared that if you saw me With no pretty parts in view You would finally understand Why I kept running from the truth And I know I made you question Every word I ever said Now the silence feels like thunder Rolling softly through my chest [Chorus] When you hurt, I hurt too So why’d I do this to you? When you break, I break too So why can’t I tell the truth? Why do I hide From the eyes that know me best? Why do I turn Every answer to a test? When you hurt, I hurt too And I know what I should do So why can’t I Simply tell the truth? [Soft Drop] Tell the truth Tell the truth I love you more Than I know how to prove Tell the truth Tell the truth I’m scared of losing you [Verse 2] Now each time you ask a question I get frozen in my skin Even truth sounds like a stranger Standing where the lies have been I rehearse it in the mirror Till the words dissolve like smoke Then I meet your eyes and lose them Like a prayer caught in my throat I was never trying to break you I was trying to survive But that does not make it kinder When I left you outside [Pre-Chorus] You were reaching through the distance I was locked behind my shame You kept asking for the real me I kept handing you a name And I hate that I was careless With the heart that stayed so close I was loved and I was frightened So I hurt the one I chose [Chorus] When you hurt, I hurt too So why’d I do this to you? When you break, I break too So why can’t I tell the truth? Why do I hide From the hands that held me close? Why do I lie To the one who loved me most? When you hurt, I hurt too And I know what I should do So why can’t I Simply tell the truth? [Soft Drop] Tell the truth Tell the truth I love you more Than I know how to prove Tell the truth Tell the truth Please don’t make me lose you [Bridge] How much to tell? How much to say? How I got through another day? I want to be clean I want to be known I want to come back Before you are gone Maybe the truth is not a knife Maybe it cuts so it can heal Maybe the part I’m most afraid of Is the only part that’s real Maybe your love is not a courtroom Maybe my fear is not a home Maybe I don’t have to vanish Just because I feel exposed [Final Chorus] When you hurt, I hurt too So why’d I do this to you? When you break, I break too So why can’t I tell the truth? I don’t want to hide From the eyes that know me best I don’t want to turn Every answer to a test When you hurt, I hurt too And I am tired of running too Tonight I’ll try To simply tell the truth [Outro] You do know what is true Feelings cannot lie For all that we’ve been through Please don’t say goodbye No more borrowed face No more pretty lie Just me Just us Just the truth tonight
