Lyrics
Truth
© Brad Wait
You hope they won't find out
You've been telling all those lies
You hope they won't find out
You've been wearing that disguise
But it isn't easy I know
To keep out the truth
It's never been easy, it shows
To keep censoring the news
Would be so bad to be true?
Don't apologize for being you
Throw off that ton and open the door
You know it's better for everyone
But for you so much more
You're afraid they will find out
You're living someone else's life
You've been running in the roundabout
Do you feel your spirit die?
But it isn't easy I know
To keep hiding the truth
It's never been easy, it shows
To keep censoring the news
Would it be so bad to be true?
Don't apologize for being you
Throw off that ton and open the door
You know it's better for everyone...
But for you, for you so much more
But for you, for you so much more
