The Truth

Sun is shining I'm not trying to be what you want me to be Yes, I'm lying, cause I'm shy And I do not want you to see my thoughts, Because they're tangled in a web. Yeah, you heard what I said There's music in the background, And now rain falls on the roof I'm trying to be polite, But I think I should give you the truth Sitting at the table Staring at you as you stare at me Making idle chit-chat While the night moves on You know that it takes two of us to open up our hearts To understand the parts That seem so secretive That seem so distant and aloof I'm trying to be polite, But I think I should give you the truth It always ends this way I always want to say In an ideal world you'd tell me why you cannot sleep at night In an ideal world you'd come to me, And you would hold me tight Friday night this dinner party seems to be going quite well If I just mind my business, Then I will look like a normal hostess But I just want to see inside your mind Show yours and I'll show mine There's music in the background, And now rain falls on the roof I'm trying to be polite, But I think I should give you the truth
