The Truth

[slow intro] An everlasting cigarette That's all you're want Waiting for a bus to take you back home 'Cause Tuesday came too soon Wednesday left you feeling used Oh tomorrow, you hope at least it's warm [emotional chorus] Don't you wanna live a simple life? You pray for change before you turn off the lights Burn a bridge every time it feels right You don't wanna forget where you're from [verse 1] So tired of feeling cheap You're always in need Innocent, at least that's what you think You got two beats to kill So empty your gun Oh, good intentions They weren't quite enough [emotional chorus] Don't you wanna live a simple life? You pray for change before you turn off the lights Burn a bridge every time it feels right You don't wanna forget where you're from [verse 1] So tired of feeling cheap You're always in need Innocent, at least that's what you think You got two beats to kill So empty your gun Oh, good intentions They weren't quite enough [emotional chorus] Don't you wanna live a simple life? You pray for change before you turn off the lights Burn a bridge every time it feels right You don't wanna forget where you're from [verse 2] If I had the chance to say Remove the walls, let's clean the slate Would it make us new? Should we find a way to start Without the mess we've made this far Would it make us new? I've seen this movie once before Don't need to see the end, no [Refrain] I've seen this movie once before Don't need to see the end, no [verse 3] I can't get away And you will never leave me Addicted to the game It's time to make it easy I can't get enough So I have to do the right thing And give you back 'Cause I'm done stealin' If someone looked into our case And said our files could be erased Would that make us new? Just tell me when and where to sign I'll check in and do the time And tell the truth [song fades out] [refrain] I've seen this movie once before Don't need to see the end, no I've seen this movie once before Don't need to see the end, no [outro] If someone looked into our case And said our files could be erased Would that make us new? Just tell me when and where to sign I'll check in and do the time And tell the truth
