Austin and Elliott: Listening Library

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

He tells you why he's late, he tells you where he's been
when you know that he's been back in her arms again
You say that he led you along and then lied
But what hurts even more is the fact you both tried

You both tried all you could to make it work
It's not the lies, it's the truth that hurts

He had a dream girl, you had a script in your mind
When he said you were the one, it was true at the time
When somebody says "I'll love you forever"
That's a figure of speech, you should know better

You force a laugh and cough before you curse
It's not the lies, it's the truth that hurts

How can you say you've been betrayed
In the bed that both of you made?

Neither side wants to come out and break up first
It's not the lies, it's the truth that hurts
