The Truth Lyrics

I was watching you pour another drink

I thought maybe that you’d admit to it

I thought it would make you talk

'Cause you don’t say much when you come home at night

I start to think about all the things that you might hide

And what you could really do

And in my dream I was on the witness stand

Pressed for truth I was raising my right hand

My left, it just points to you

You’re on trial, the jury must assume

Your innocence but they’re asking me for proof

Of all the things you could do

At night it comes to me

The pieces click

And it wakes me while I sleep

Your eyes are closed, my eyes are open and I think

“Why couldn’t I just leave it alone?”

I turn it over and over and now I see a speck in you

Though I don’t want to

It’s in the way that you move around the house

Like your body’s possessed by something else

Your feet, they don’t make a sound

Since it happened, yeah, you don’t eat enough

Avert your eyes and you’re shying from my touch

It's all the guilt that’s making you lose yourself?

At night you turn to me

You whisper words

Confessing while i sleep

You couldn’t see my eyes were open when you said

“Why couldn’t you just leave it alone?”

You say it over and over and now I see the rest of you

The ice has cracked

And I don’t know

What i would really do

Without you

(At night you come to me

At night you come to me)

At night you come to me

You cut my throat

And you bleed me in my sleep

Your eyes are wet my eyes are open while you scream

“Why couldn’t you just leave it alone?”

You said it over and over and now I know the rest of you

My vision fades to black

In darkness dies the the truth

In darkness dies the the truth
