I couldn't tell the truth if I wanted to I couldn't tell the truth if I wanted to I couldn't tell the truth if I wanted to Wanted to It's so sad to see You're working me over Oh Lord, again? I'm so glad to be partially sober I've lost too many friends How can I compete with the man that I promised you? I tried so hard to bend Don't tell me who I was or who I want to be You're doing it again I can tell you saw all my love When he came into our lives Does it hurt inside To know that I'll be there for him? I swear that I will fight 'Til I die if that's what it takes But for now I'm alive And I'm standing tall for heaven's sake I couldn't tell the truth if I wanted to I couldn't tell the truth if I wanted to I couldn't tell the truth if I wanted to Wanted to, to I've thrown ambition to the fire Hope melted away You let your promises expire And I swear that you'll never hear the end of this I can tell you saw all my love When he came into our lives Does it hurt inside To know that I'll be there for him? I swear that I will fight 'Til I die if that's what it takes But for now I'm alive And I'm standing tall for heaven's sake These are the moments where I feel my heart skip a beat Trails of adulthood, only ice below my feet These are the moments that I feel your hand fade away These are the moments that I wish that I had fucking stayed These are the moments that I wish that I had put the pills down These are the moments that I wish that I was in the ground These are the moments where I wish that I could tell the truth The choices I made, this is me living without you
