The Truth Lyrics

The Truth - 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
