The Truth
THE TRUTH
The truth hurts somebody, the lies hurt others
You held the world and you had no bothers
Seeking better, you pushed away the very best
Welcome to your life; you failed the test
The grass is greener, so they say
As it all looked better from far away
You flew, you drove and you conquered
Now you miss it but you are not missed
A pretty face, a fast car, a drink
It all looks greener, or so you think
An old friend dies no lending hand
A new lover leaves and alone you stand
Never ever judge a book by its cover
With a shiny outside, so clean and neat
Inside filthy and rotten, ready to cheat
Book’s open, close your eyes, it’s over
You promised yourself, in God’s name
Failure like this; don’t let it happen again
Then you realize from where you stand
Everything looked greener, it’s all the same
The new face, the shiny car, the drink,
All is forgotten, all seems better already
You keep at it, only to again see green
You forgot it all, slowly and steady
You had it all, no worries, no troubles
You had to seek greener, bigger, thinner
You wanted, prettier, faster, healthier
Keep dreaming, stand alone, feel better?
Your lies hurt many, but it is the truth that hurt you
Mistakes? No, it’s what you do and what you don’t do
Stuck your chest out, push away the best
Stand along again, you can’t relax, can’t get rest
F*ck you for thinking you deserve better
F*ck the shiny book cover, the greener grass
F*ck the stupid test that you can’t and will never pass
And above all f*ck you for writing this stupid letter
The truth hurts somebody, the lies hurt others
You held the world and you had no bothers
Seeking better, you pushed away the very best
Welcome to your life; you failed the test
The grass is greener, so they say
As it all looked better from far away
You flew, you drove and you conquered
Now you miss it but you are not missed
A pretty face, a fast car, a drink
It all looks greener, or so you think
An old friend dies no lending hand
A new lover leaves and alone you stand
Never ever judge a book by its cover
With a shiny outside, so clean and neat
Inside filthy and rotten, ready to cheat
Book’s open, close your eyes, it’s over
You promised yourself, in God’s name
Failure like this; don’t let it happen again
Then you realize from where you stand
Everything looked greener, it’s all the same
The new face, the shiny car, the drink,
All is forgotten, all seems better already
You keep at it, only to again see green
You forgot it all, slowly and steady
You had it all, no worries, no troubles
You had to seek greener, bigger, thinner
You wanted, prettier, faster, healthier
Keep dreaming, stand alone, feel better?
Your lies hurt many, but it is the truth that hurt you
Mistakes? No, it’s what you do and what you don’t do
Stuck your chest out, push away the best
Stand along again, you can’t relax, can’t get rest
F*ck you for thinking you deserve better
F*ck the shiny book cover, the greener grass
F*ck the stupid test that you can’t and will never pass
And above all f*ck you for writing this stupid letter
