Intro

Verse 1

There’s a look on her face, she’s starting to master

As she carefully closes the door

She’s been coming home late with pre-packaged answers

To questions she tries to a-void

Pre-chorus

Now she’s talking too fast

And I just have to ask

Baby what’s all the cloak and dagger for?

Chorus 1

Okay here’s the truth, I ran out of gas

And I didn’t call cuz 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'd under-stand

Verse 2

She’s getting good with the lies, so good that you 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 patience wears thin

Cause she late once again

Honey tell me what delayed you this time?

Chorus 2

Okay here’s the truth, it’s gonna sound kinda strange

But I took a new way home from work for a change

It started out fine, till I got to route nine

Went an hour the wrong way before I rea-lized

I’m sorry I’ve ruined all our plans

I was hoping that you'd under-stand

Bridge

In there watching her secretly talking

It is just about all I can bare

Now I know why she’s been wearing more makeup and caring

So much about changing her hair

Verse 3

The telephone vibrates on the table again

Another damn private call coming through

Now she’s visibly shaking and I just feel like taking

That phone, throwing it clear cross the room

Pre-chorus

She answers hello

A man’s voice I don’t know

Says it’s time that you tell him the truth

And I can’t take this more

Honey I’m out the door

No I won’t relax, I got my suitcase all pack

But what she said next, stop me dead in my tracks

Chorus 3

Okay here’s the truth,

It’s not what you think

The man that you heard is head of oncolo-gy

I’m sorry I lied, to you all of those times

I didn't know how to tell you I might not sur-vive

O-k there’s the truth, I’ve got six months to live

Only wanted what’s best for you and the kids

I promise I’ll fight, with all of my might

But if I lose this battle I lived a good life

So baby just please hold my hand

And tell me that you...

Under-stand
