Staind – The Truth

PARENTAL ADVISORY – [Explicit]

It’s 3 am
It’s cold outside
And you can’t sleep

Isn’t if funny 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
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 not 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
You 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 need 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

You did it patience shows
But you can’t see when eyes are closed
And all the promised you make to me
They seem to fade
And leave me with this disappointment
That these words could never show

When your ride is over
And you’re 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

Honestly, I don’t know how you could see
Something you once saw in me
Just another volunteer
For you to bleed
