The Truth Songtext

von Sally Seltmann

Sun is shining
I'm not trying to be what you want me to be
Yes, I'm lying, cause I'm shy
And I do not want you to see my thoughts,
Because they're tangled in a web.
Yeah, you heard what I said

There's music in the background,
And now rain falls on the roof
I'm trying to be polite,
But I think I should give you the truth

Sitting at the table
Staring at you as you stare at me
Making idle chit-chat
While the night moves on
You know that it takes two of us to open up our hearts
To understand the parts

That seem so secretive
That seem so distant and aloof
I'm trying to be polite,
But I think I should give you the truth

It always ends this way
I always want to say
In an ideal world you'd tell me why you cannot sleep at night
In an ideal world you'd come to me,
And you would hold me tight

Friday night this dinner party seems to be going quite well
If I just mind my business,
Then I will look like a normal hostess
But I just want to see inside your mind
Show yours and I'll show mine

There's music in the background,
And now rain falls on the roof
I'm trying to be polite,
But I think I should give you the truth
