Intro

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 pre-packaged answers

 To questions she tries to a-void

Pre-chorus

 Now she’s talking too fast

 And I just have to ask

 Baby what’s all the cloak and dagger for?

Chorus 1

 Okay here’s the truth, I ran out of gas

 And I didn’t call cuz I thought you'll be mad

 So I started to walk, took an hour and a half

 To get off that highway and fill up that can

 I was hoping that you'd under-stand

Verse 2

 She’s getting good with the lies, so good that you wonder

 If the rabbit in the hat tricks for real

 She turns water into wine and I'd almost believe her

 If her eyes just for once could keep still

Pre-chorus

 Now my patience wears thin

 Cause she late once again

 Honey tell me what delayed you this time?

Chorus 2

 Okay here’s the truth, it’s gonna sound kinda strange

 But I took a new way home from work for a change

 It started out fine, till I got to route nine

 Went an hour the wrong way before I rea-lized

 I’m sorry I’ve ruined all our plans

 I was hoping that you'd under-stand

Bridge

 In there watching her secretly talking

 It is just about all I can bare

 Now I know why she’s been wearing more makeup and caring

 So much about changing her hair

Verse 3

 The telephone vibrates on the table again

 Another damn private call coming through

 Now she’s visibly shaking and I just feel like taking

 That phone, throwing it clear cross the room

Pre-chorus

 She answers hello

 A man’s voice I don’t know

 Says it’s time that you tell him the truth

 And I can’t take this more

 Honey I’m out the door

 No I won’t relax, I got my suitcase all pack

 But what she said next, stop me dead in my tracks

Chorus 3

 Okay here’s the truth,

 It’s not what you think

 The man that you heard is head of oncolo-gy

 I’m sorry I lied, to you all of those times

 I didn't know how to tell you I might not sur-vive

 O-k there’s the truth, I’ve got six months to live

 Only wanted what’s best for you and the kids

 I promise I’ll fight, with all of my might

 But if I lose this battle I lived a good life

 So baby just please hold my hand

 And tell me that you...

 Under-stand
