Lyrics Tell Him The Truth - Keri Hilson

Tell Him The Truth

If you’ve ever kept a secret from the one you love
This is what it feels like
If you thought that I was perfect
Boy, you were wrong
I’m far from that
There’s one thing that I’ve done to you
That I regret and
Look, I know it’s no excuse, but I’m only human and young at that
And I’m gonna make mistakes
And hope you understand
Didn’t see it comin'
Wasn’t on purpose
Baby, I promise I didn’t mean to hurt you
Will you forgive me?
You didn’t deserve this
I know it wasn’t worth it
I’ma tell him the truth (When I’m ready to)
Tell him the truth (Somehow)
Gotta tell him the truth (That's what I gotta do)
Tell him the truth (But not now)
Gotta tell him the truth (Just wait a little bit)
Tell him the truth (He couldn’t handle it)
Tell him the truth (That's what I gotta do)
Tell him the truth (But not now, ooh)
Didn’t see when I had tears rolling down my face
I turned my back
It was heavy on the tongue
(And I knew that you knew something was wrong)
I was about to break open, spill out everything
But something said
«Keri, wait, things are going great, what you gonna say?»
«I don’t know, maybe something like…»
Didn’t see it comin'
Wasn’t on purpose
Baby, I promise I didn’t mean to hurt you
Will you forgive me?
You didn’t deserve this
I know it wasn’t worth it
I’ma tell him the truth (When I’m ready to)
Tell him the truth (Somehow)
Gotta tell him the truth (That's what I gotta do)
Tell him the truth (But not now)
Gotta tell him the truth (Just wait a little bit)
Tell him the truth (He couldn’t handle it)
Tell him the truth (That's what I gotta do)
Tell him the truth (But not now, ooh)
I feel less (Than nothin')
Lower (Than zero)
And tired (Of frontin)
Gotta tell him the truth, ooh
I feel less (Than nothin')
Lower (Than zero)
And tired (Of frontin)
Gotta tell him the truth, ooh
Guess I’ve been waitin' for the stars to align
There’s no perfect time
I gotta tell him the truth
'Cause it’s hard to build the truth on a lie
And if that’s what I want
I gotta tell him the truth
I’ma tell him the truth (When I’m ready to)
Tell him the truth (Somehow)
Gotta tell him the truth (That's what I gotta do)
Tell him the truth (But not now)
Gotta tell him the truth, truth (Just wait a little bit)
Tell him the truth (He couldn’t handle it)
Tell him the truth (That's what I gotta do)
Tell him the truth, I gotta (But not now, ooh)
Baby, I’m cryin'
I’m, I’m cryin'
Ohh
Tell him the truth (That's what I gotta do)
Tell him the truth (That's what I gotta do)
I’m so scared, and I’m sittin' here all alone
Tell him the truth
What do I do, what do I do?
