Lapsley Tell Me The Truth Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I've been taking things that I don't want to take
Slamming other doors and feel it's breaking me down
The feeling never lasts, I need to satiate
The feeling that I had before you took me right down
I ring you when I start to get a small high
Short amount of time before the birds fly by
The lighting in your room was always too low
We said our goodbyes before we said hello

[Pre-Chorus]
In a small space, you changed me
In a crowded place, you isolated me

[Chorus]
Just tell me the truth, it'll hurt less, I guess
Just tell me the truth, it'll hurt less, I guess

[Verse 2]
Well you've been throwing shadows on a long flight
Just pulling my feet under, move my face from sight
The feeling always lingered past the comfortable stage
Make stories up in my head, you can question them now
I touch you in the dark for satisfaction
A slice of my sentimental attraction
The lighting in your room was always scarlet
Just tell me something right, babe, and I'll believe it

[Pre-Chorus]
In a small space, you changed me
In a crowded place, you isolated me

[Chorus] Just tell me the truth, it'll hurt less, I guess
Just tell me the truth, it'll hurt less, I guess
Just tell me the truth, it'll hurt less, I guess
Just tell me the truth, it'll hurt less, I guess
Just tell me the truth, it'll hurt less, I guess
Just tell me the truth, it'll hurt less, I guess
Just tell me the truth, it'll hurt less, I guess
Just tell me the truth, it'll hurt less, I guess

[Bridge]
I'm numb to the pain, there's no fire, there's no burn
The house down
Blame the household
Feed the ego
When will these lies let me go?
I'm numb to the pain, there's no fire, there's no burn
The house down
Blame the household
Feed the ego
When will these lies let me go?

[Chorus]
Just tell me the truth, it'll hurt less, I guess
Just tell me the truth, it'll hurt less, I guess
Just tell me the truth, it'll hurt less, I guess
Just tell me the truth, it'll hurt less, I guess
Just tell me the truth, it'll hurt less, I guess
Just tell me the truth, it'll hurt less, I guess
Just tell me the truth, it'll hurt less, I guess
Just tell me the truth, it'll hurt less, I guess
