The Truth

Ain’t nothin’ but the truth
Ain’t nothin’ but the goddamn truth
A lot of other things could’ve been said
Ain’t nothin’ but the truth
Ain’t nothin’ but the goddamn truth
I chose honesty
Honesty may be the death of me

I thought tellin’ the truth
Would make her see
But instead my foot
Went and did the talkin’ for me

And it’s not like
I tell the truth every day
Nah, nah, nah, I just seem to wait
Until it gets in the way

Now I realize
That telling the truth ain’t so bad
As long as you accept the fact
That it may make you sad

So go on and tell the truth
Like you should
Though some memories may fade
The resolution will be good

Ain’t nothin’ but the truth
Ain’t nothin’ but the gods’ lovely truth
Nothing better could’ve been said
Ain’t nothin’ but the truth
Ain’t nothin’ but the gods’ lovely truth
I chose honesty
Honesty may be the best of me
