| I don’t wanna go
|
| Where everybody knows your name
|
| So I just stay at home
|
| Mm, anymore these days
|
| 'Cause every time I leave the house
|
| I hear somebody ask about you
|
| And I just can’t bring myself to tell the truth about it
|
| So I tell a lie, mm
|
| Say you’re doin' pretty good
|
| And things are goin' like they should
|
| And when I get back home tonight
|
| I’m gonna tell ya that they said to tell ya hi, mm-mm
|
| 'Cause the truth is, the truth is
|
| I don’t wanna tell 'em
|
| I don’t wanna tell 'em what the truth is
|
| Oh, the truth is, the truth is
|
| I don’t wanna tell 'em
|
| I don’t wanna tell 'em what the truth is
|
| It’s so much easier
|
| They don’t know that we’re just friends
|
| Than goin' down that road
|
| And losin' you all over again
|
| 'Cause it’s hard to live with knowin'
|
| All the things I did and didn’t do to keep you by my side
|
| And I’m the reason for goodbye
|
| And why you’re gone
|
| I just talk about the weather or whatever
|
| Yeah, 'cause anything is better than discussin'
|
| All the nothin' that we got goin' on
|
| And that I’m barely hangin' on
|
| 'Cause the truth is, the truth is
|
| I don’t wanna tell 'em
|
| I don’t wanna tell 'em what the truth is
|
| Oh, the truth is, the truth is
|
| I don’t wanna tell 'em
|
| I don’t wanna tell 'em what the truth is
|
| But the truth is, the truth is
|
| I don’t wanna tell 'em
|
| I don’t wanna tell 'em what the truth is
|
| And the truth is, the truth is
|
| I don’t wanna tell 'em
|
| I don’t wanna tell 'em what the truth is
|
| (Every time I leave the house
|
| I hear somebody ask about you
|
| And I just can’t bring myself to tell the truth about it
|
| So I tell a lie)
|
| I don’t wanna tell 'em
|
| I don’t wanna tell 'em
|
| (Say you’re doin' pretty good
|
| And things are goin' like they should
|
| And when I get back home tonight
|
| I’m gonna tell ya that they said to tell ya hi)
|
| What the truth is |
