[Verse 1]
There's a look on her face, she's starting to master as she carefully closes the door
She's been coming home late, with three packaged answers to questions she tries
to avoid, now she's talking to fast and I just have to ask, baby what's all the clogon dagger for?
[Chorus]
Ok here's the truth, I ran out of gas, and I didn't call cause I thought you'd be mad
So I started to walk, it took a hour and a half, to get up that highway and fill up that
can, I was hoping that you'd understand
[Verse 2]
She's getting good with the lines, so good that you wonder, if the rabbit in the hat
tricks were real, she turns water into wine and I'd almost believe her
If her eyes just for once could keep still, now my patients wasting, cause she's late once again
Honey tell me what delayed you this time
[Chorus]
Ok here's the truth, its gonna sound kinda strange but I took another way home from work
for a change, it started out fine, till I got to route nine, when a nile the wrong way before I
realized, I'm sorry I ruined all our plans, I was hoping that you'd understand
[Verse 3]
And I'm watching her secretly talking, its just about all I can bare, now I know why she's
been wearing more make up and caring so much about changing her hair.
A telephone vibrates on the table again another damn private call coming through, now
she's physically shaking and I just feel like taking that phone and throwing clear across
the room, she answers hello, a mans voice I don't know, says its time that you tell him the
The truth, and I can't take this no more, honey I'm out the door, no I won't relax, I got my
suitcase all packed, what you said next, got me stopping dead in my tracks
[Chorus]
Ok here's the truth, its not what you think, the man that you heard is head of oncology, I'm
sorry I lied to you all of those times, I didn't know how to tell you, I might not survive
Ok there's the truth, I got six months to live, only wanted what's best for you and the kids, I
promise I'll fight with all of my mite, but if I lose this battle, I lived a good life, so baby just please
hold my hand and tell me that you understand
