Truth Be Told Songtext
von Jake Scott

There′s nothing good within me, if I'm honest
And if I am honest and there are times
I will try to dress up all my darkness
And make it seem like it was light all along
But it′s a lie

The truth be told, I'm nothing on my own
The only thing I know for sure
Is that I don't know anything
To be sure

If you only knew what I′ve been prone to do
You′d run far and fast away from me
Oh, God, hear my plea 'cause all I see
Is this darkness that is buried within me


So darling, don′t dare trust me
If I say that I'm okay
If truth be told, I do the things that I hate
Oh, everyday, anyway

So, if ever
I may think myself to be more than a wretched man
Forgive me
Please don′t let me
Ruin myself once again with these chains that I cannot sever
I'll do whatever it takes just to make sure my head stays above
This water that is filling my lungs

If only I could do the good I want to do
I′d leave this place forever
And I would never turn back around
Just to find this old form
'Cause I'm broken and I′m begging for something more
