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
