A Truth and Two Lies

The news came as quite a shock
Though things were never fine
All you took away from me
Was the heart I once called mine
Still I’m left here empty-handed
Thinking of your eyes
Dreaming of the way you were
Always a truth and two lies

CHORUS1:
Don’t say anything
Please don’t speak
I’m much too tired
I’m much too weak
Please don’t sell me
What I despise
One of your truths
And two of your lies

I’m still waiting for you to call
Though I don’t want to hear your voice
You might want to talk to me
But now it’s not your choice
And when you call I’ll answer the phone
With muffle coughs and cries
And shake my head at every word
Another truth and two lies

[CHORUS1]

I thought long and hard about you today
And decided this was the end
You won’t call and I won’t care
But I’ll still call you a friend
And if I’m distant and cold
And you wonder why
I will simply smile at you
And tell you a truth and two lies

CHORUS2:

Don’t say anything
Please don’t speak
I’m no longer tired
I’m no longer weak
But now I’m selling
What I despise
One of my truths
And two of my lies
