Speak the Truth Songtext
von Temple Yard

I may have said a thing or two
To make you feel the way you do
Well, you know I′ve never been one to ever hold back
Well, did I share too openly?
I tried to give it to you gracefully
And it still appears that I've ruffled your feathers

Don′t you harbor any bitterness
Let's reason here, and I'll make it clear

I will only speak the truth in love
Let′s say it here, and I′ll make it clear
I will only speak the truth in love

I really know that it's your life
But being close, you must confide
′Cause the fact is, I am your brother
You say my words were too severe
I won't tell you what you want to hear
Let alone sit back and watch you go under

You′ve got to know I really care for you


Let's reason here, and I′ll make it clear
I will only speak the truth in love
Let's say it here, and I'll make it clear
I will only speak the truth in love

Let us speak the truth in love
Let us speak the truth in love
Let us speak the truth in love
Let us speak the truth in love

Well, I′ve got this burden on my heart again, whoa-whoa
Ever since you came back in my life
I said I will not let it go on like this
Well, I′ll call it like it really is
Can't you see my love for you is strong?

Let us speak the truth in love
Let us speak the truth in love

Now that I have said my piece
It′s time for you to feel the squeeze
'Cause you′re running fast and headed for trouble
It's a path I′m familiar with
So don't you call me a hypocrite
'Cause you know, my friend
Well, I′ll never judge you, oh no

Don′t you harbor any bitterness


Let's reason here, and I′ll make it clear
I will only speak the truth in love
Let's say it here, and I′ll make it clear
I will only speak the truth in love
I will only speak the truth in love
I will only speak the truth in love
