Intro
V1
theres a look on her face, shes starting to master
as she carefully closes the door
shes been coming home late with pre-package answers
to questions she tries to avoid
Pre-chorus
now shes talking to fast
and i just have to ask
baby whats all the cloak and dagger for?
Chorus
Ok heres the truth, i ran out of gas
and i didnt call because i thought you'll be mad
so i started to walk, took an hour and a half
to get off that highway and fill up that can
i was hoping that you'll understand
V2
shes getting good with the lies
so good that u wonder
if the rabbit in the hat tricks for real
she turns water into wine and i'd almost believe her
if her eyes just for once could keep still
Pre-chorus
now my patiece wears thin
cause she late once again
honey tell me what delayed you this time?
Chorus 2
ok heres the truth
its gonna sound kinda strange
but i took a new way home from work for a change
it started out find, till i got to route nine
wait an hour on way before i realise
im sorry ive ruined all our plans
i was hoping that you'll understand
Bridge
in there watching her secretly talking
it is just about all that i can bare
now i know why shes been wearing more makeup and caring
so much about changing her hair
V3
the telephone vibrates on the table again
another damm private call coming through
now shes visibly shaking and i just feel like taking
that phone throwing it clear cross the room
Pre-chorus
she anwers hello
a mans voice i dont know
says its time that you tell him the truth
now i cant take this more
honey im out the door
no i wont relax, i got my suitcase all pack
but what she said next stop me dead in my tracks
Chorus 3
Ok heres the truth,
its not what you think
the man that you heard is head of oncology
im sorry i lied, to you all of those times
i didn't know how to tell you i might not survive
Ok theres the truth, ive got six months to live
only wanted whats best for you and the kids
i promise i fight, with all of my might
but if i loose this battle i lived a good life
so baby just please hold my hand
and tell me that you ...
understand
