I've always known the truth can hurt you

But I've never been afraid

I figured it was better to know

Than to hear a story someone made

The truth will set you free

And that's the way I want to be

But this one just isn't the same

And I feel an emotion without a name

This truth will tie me up

This truth will drag me down

This truth could shake my world

It could turn it all upside down

It could make me feel such great joy

But leave me not knowing what to do

It could make me whisper, "Stupid boy…"

And leave me crying about you

And for the first time I don't want to know

For the first time I'll just run away

It's the first time I've had this feeling so,

I don't even know what to say

And when I imagine your gentle eyes

It's only then that I realize

For the first time, I'm afraid of the truth
