Ok, Here's The Truth (Album Version)

There's a look on her face She's starting to master And she carefully closes the door She's been coming home late With pre-packaged answers To questions she tries to avoid Now she's talking too fast And I just have to ask Baby what's all the cloak and dagger for Okay here's the truth I ran out of gas & I didn't call cause I thought you'd 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 understand She's getting good with the lies So good that you wondered If the rabbit in the hat tricks for real She turns water into wine And I'd almost believed her If her eyes just for once could keep still Now my patience wasting Cause she's late once again Honey tell me what delayed you this time Okay here's the truth It's gonna sound kind of strange But I took a new way home from work for a change It started out fine Til I got to Route 9 When an hour away before I realized I'm sorry I ruined all our plans I was hoping that you'd understand And there watching her secretly talking It is just about all I can bear Now I know why she's been wearing Make-up and caring So much about changing her hair The telephone vibrates on the table again Another damn private call coming through And now she's visibly shaking And I just feel like taking that phone Throwing it clear across the room She answers hello A mans voice I don't know Says it's time that you tell him the truth Now I can't take this no more Honey I'm out the door No I won't relax I got my suitcase all packed What she said next stopped me dead in my trust Okay here's the truth It's not what you think The man that you heard is head of oncology I'm sorry I lied To you all of those times I didn't know how to tell you I might not survive Okay there's the truth I've got six months to live I 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 understand
