Lyrics

"NAKED TRUTH"
(words & music: Lynn Carey Saylor)

I've spent a lot of time
Pretending I'm just fine
All the pain, I pushed it down
So the voices in my head would drown
I'm the one who sees it last
I'll drive a train right off its tracks

Why am I afraid to stay
On the path that lights the way?
My heart sits on the shelf
Won't you save me from myself?

(Chorus)
The naked truth is what I want
Don't sugar coat me
'Cause that won't heal me
The naked truth tells what I'm not
Don't hide it from me
Just give it to me straight
'Cause I don't want it any other way

(Verse 2)
Something's coming over me
Maybe it's maturity
I just know I feel the change
But this feeling is so strange
All this time I thought I knew
Who I was and what to do
Now I've pulled the curtain back
It's O.K. to see the cracks
I know I'll be fine
Once the fear is far behind

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)
I'll peel the layers back one by one
And try to have patience 'till it's done
But if I falter and I need your help
Don't you let me start lying to myself

(Repeat Chorus)

No, I don't want it any other way
Just give it to me straight
