Song Description

Guy is leaving a gril who was untrue to him

Lyrics

“TRIED AND UNTRUE”

THE SILENCE HERE COULD RAISE THE DEAD
FROM EVERYTHING WE LEAVE UNSAID
BUT BABY YOU DON’T HAVE TO SAY A THING

THE COLD HARD TRUTH IS COMING OUT
AND IN MY HEART THERE IS NO DOUBT
FROM HOW YOU ACT WHEN OUR TELEPHONE RINGS

CHORUS

YOUR LOVE’S BEEN TRIED AND UNTRUE
THOUGH I GUESS I ALWAYS KNEW
THAT THE LOVE YOU PROMISED ME
CAME WITHOUT A GUARANTEE
I BELIEVED YOUR EVERY WORD
SO I GOT WHAT I DESERVED
AND NOW WE’RE THROUGH
YOUR LOVE’S BEEN TRIED AND UNTRUE

VERSE II

I’ll ADMIT I SAW THE SIGNS
AS WELL I FELL FOR ALL THE LINES
I FELT THE PAIN, AND I WONDERED IF YOU KNEW

SO I PACKED THE LAST BOX IN MY CAR
AND I HEAD FOR PLACES NEW AND FAR
I’M OUTTA HERE AND I’M OUTTA MY MISERY TOO

BRIDGE

THE REARVIEW MIRROR RELECTS A PLACE
A PICTURE OF LOSS AND DISGRACE
BUT UP AHEAD THERE’S A HIGHWAY WITH HEALING TO DO
AND A SMILE ON MY FACE
CHORUS
