Tell The Truth

(album: Welcome To Prairieville - 2021)

Ask and you shall receive
Forgiveness, I believe
But how many times can I travel down the same road
Acting like I don't know where it leads?

Before you give up on me
And it's too dark to see
The light that you've been shining down this whole time
I hoping that I might finally find

The freedom in the words I never said
I guess better late than to never learn instead

To tell the truth
Or the truth will tell on you
Catch you when your backs turned
And cut you right in two

You can break the spell of a thousand lies
And make an old love new
So why wouldn't you
Tell the truth?

The first time is the hardest
The first time is the best
And it'll probably be the last time that you ever
Carry the weight of the world on your chest

And speaking of the whole world
If only for a day
We layed all our cards upon the table
I bet we'd all be able to find the same things

In each and every soul
And it's scary, till you know you're not alone

Tell the truth
Or the truth will tell on you
And catch you when your backs turned
And cut you right in two

You can break the spell of a thousand lies and
And make old love new
So why wouldn't you?
And tell the truth

Tell the truth
Oh, the truth will tell on you
And catch you when your backs turned
And cut you right in two

You can break the spell of a thousand lies
And make an old love new
Why wouldn't you?
And tell the truth

Tell the truth
