The Truth Songtext
von Staind

It′s 3 AM, it's cold outside
And you can′t sleep
Is it from your conscience talking
To the skeletons you keep?
Every time you try to speak
Only craziness comes out
But she can't turn the other cheek
And you can't help, how it comes out.

So when did you decide, to embrace what you hate to survive?
′Cause that′s not what got us here

It's 8 AM and still no sleep
But you don′t care
I don't know why I keep on calling
Doesn′t get us anywhere
'Cause every time I try to speak
It never let my words come out
I can′t turn the other cheek
And I can't help, how this comes out


So when did you decide, to embrace what you hate to survive?
'Cause that′s not what got us here

Honestly
I don′t know how you could see
Something you once saw in me
Just another volunteer

To wonder if you ever lie awake in bed
And think about the things you said
Your dedication shows
But you can't see, your eyes are closed
And all the promises you made
To me, they seem to fade and leave me with this disappointment
That these words can never show

When your ride is over,
And your hanging by a thread
As your house of cards is falling
Just remember what I said

So when did you decide, to embrace what you hate to survive?
′Cause that's not what got us here


And honestly
I don′t know how you could see
Something you once saw in me
Just another volunteer
For you to bleed
