The Truth Songtext
von Affidavit

You think you′re optimistic
You just bury your head in the sand
You claim I'm pessimistic
Will you ever understand

I could tell you what you wanna hear
Yes I could tell you I′ll get you out of here

But I would lie to you anyway
Yes I would lie to you everyday

Now do you really want to hear the truth
Do you really want to hear the truth

Instead of just wearing blinders
It won't make things any better

There's a difference between
Being optimistic and
Burying your head in the sand
Will this ever end

I could tell you what you wanna hear
Yes I could tell you it′s all downhill from here


But I would lie to you anyway
Yes I would lie to you someday
Now do you really want to hear the truth
Do you really want to hear the truth
Knowing it will certainly hurt you
′Cause wearing blinders won't make things better

I could tell you what you wanna hear
Yes I could tell you that there′s nothing to fear

But I won't lie to you anymore, just like I did before
Now do you really want to hear the truth
Do you really want to hear the truth

You think you′re optimistic
You just bury your head in the sand
You claim I'm pessimistic
Will you ever understand

I could tell you what you wanna hear
I could tell you I′ll get you out of here

But I would lie to you anyway
Yes I would lie to you someday
Maybe I won't take you away
I won't be there when you need me

′Cause wearing blinders won′t make things better
No, wearing blinders won't make things better


Do you really want to hear the truth
Do you really want to hear the truth
Do you really want to hear the truth
Knowing it will certainly hurt
