They say the truth will set you free
So someone tell me please
Why it is I'm sitting here alone,
I'm trapped in my own bitter-sweet reality.
I thought it was what you wanted,
Isn't that what you said?
Said it would make everything better,
But you took off instead.
I did my best to be there for you
To give you what you needed,
Yet somehow I'm the one to blame,
But this is what you wanted.
You asked the question, I gave the answer.
Was the truth too much to handle?
"Just be honest, I need to know."
Well now you know, but you couldn't take it.
They say sticks and stones may break my bones,
But words will never hurt me.
Well my dear you proved them wrong,
Because the scars of what you said aren't fading
If this is what comes of the truth
I want no part of it.
You've made a liar out of me.
Because I've learned that the truth means nothing.
But remember, this is what you wanted.
They say what goes around comes around,
And believe me it is coming,
And when it does I hope I'm there
To watch the grand finale.
Like a fool, I followed you
Listened to your every word,
And like a fool I'm abandoned here,
Waiting for the rain to clear.
So now you're angry for the things I'm saying
Talking about how it's low even for someone like me
But haven't you heard?
The truth is overrated.
I hope at night you toss and turn,
Because the good Lord knows I'm not losing sleep,
And when you're there lying awake
I hope you think of me,
But remember this is what you wanted.
And they say the truth will set you free. . .
