Lyrics
It?s the truth with a small ?t?
A truth for you and me
It?s truth in quotation marks
Truth with mind and heart
It?s not a hard truth
It has a few omissions
A kinder, gentler truth
With a few additions
Hold your head
Hold your heart
Nothing real is said
As we fall apart
The ideal of a child
Is total honesty
And only a fool would speak
Without some mystery
I call this discretion
Though some may call it lies
Don?t see it as deception
It?s just the facts revised
Hold your head
Hold your heart
Nothing real is said
As we fall apart
It?s not about reality
It?s about what you perceive
The stories that I give you
And how I aim to please
Too afraid to hurt you
Or make you be sorry
I try to spare your feelings
When the truth could set you free
Hold your head
Hold your heart
Nothing real is said
As we fall apart
