lyrics

TRUTH HURST LIKE A BROKEN BONE

I’ve got a ball of lead in my pocket
I’ve got my memories in my bullet holes
I’ve got my whole life in my suitcase
And I just recall your voice asking
“My love, my love,
Where’re you gonna go when I say no?”

I’ll go where our buried past won’t be unfold

So pick the phone
Unleash the truth
That hurts like a broken bone
You better let it go
But don’t you wish we were about to blow

So hold me close by the tongue
Expose the wound
That bleeds like a broken lie
You better let it die
But don’t you cry, don’t you cry
Don’t you cry

Sometimes I wonder what is like
To hide behind the time
And sometimes I wonder how you manage
To live just with denial

It’s easier when you give up the fight

So pick the phone
Unleash the truth
That hurts like a broken bone
You better let it go
But don’t you wish we were about to blow

So hold me close by the tongue
Expose the wound
That bleeds like a broken lie
You better let it die
But don’t you cry, don’t you cry
Don’t you cry

Don’t you cry...
Don’t you cry…
Don’t you cry…
Don’t you cry

So pick the phone
Unleash the truth
That hurts like a broken bone
You better let it go
But don’t you wish we were about to blow

So hold me close by the tongue
Expose the wound
That bleeds like a broken lie
You better let it die
But don’t you cry, don’t you cry
Don’t you cry

Don’t you cry...
Don’t you cry…
Don’t you cry…
Don’t you cry
