Tell the Truth

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

You ask me how I feel and I go quiet

Studying the ceiling like it owes me

Every little answer I re-script it

Till the honest version barely knows me

Pre-Chorus

But the mirror never blinks

It sees right through the lines

And the truth just sits and waits

For the moment I decide

Chorus

Tell the truth

Don't lie

Let the walls come down tonight

Tell the truth

Don't lie

Even when it cuts inside

I'm done with the masquerade

I'm saying what I meant to say

Tell the truth

Don't lie

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Don't lie to me

Oh-oh-oh

Don't lie

Verse 2

I told them I was fine a thousand times

Painted on a smile and wore it steady

But every little crack was a sign

That pretending isn't love it's just a entry

Pre-Chorus

So I'm peeling off the paint

Gonna let the scars be seen

Yeah the truth is gonna sting

But at least it's gonna mean

Chorus

Tell the truth

Don't lie

Let the walls come down tonight

Tell the truth

Don't lie

Even when it cuts inside

I'm done with the masquerade

I'm saying what I meant to say

Tell the truth

Don't lie

Bridge

No more half-smiles on my face

No more stories rearranged

Just the naked simple truth

Like I promised when I knew

Chorus

Tell the truth

Don't lie

Let the walls come down tonight

Tell the truth

Don't lie

Even when it cuts inside

I'm done with the masquerade

I'm saying what I meant to say

Tell the truth

Don't lie
