"The Truth" lyrics

Just a couple drinks at a college bar that I don't even go to
Shoulda left and gone to sleep just like I told you
Instead of lying 'bout that whole damn night
'Bout that whole damn night

Now I'm tossing in the sheets of the bed I made
No there ain't no peace when you live in pain
No one deserves what I put you through
Oh but telling you is what I gotta do

I never thought I'd be the guy to break your heart
Thought I'd walked the line but I went too far
I know what I did changed everything
And I know running from her won't change anything
I don't have an alibi to make things right
I could apologize for the rest of my life
When I look into your eyes I wonder
Why would I ever lie to you?
Just thought I knew what you'd do with the truth
I thought I'd lose you
If you ever knew

Don't go thinking that the blame's on you
It ain't nothing that you did or you didn't do
Hate this part of me that you gotta find out
But I'll lay it out, I'm done hiding now

Never thought I'd be the guy to break your heart
Thought I'd walked the line but I went too far
I know what I did changed everything
And I know running from her won't change anything
I don't have an alibi to make things right
I could apologize for the rest of my life
When I look into your eyes I wonder
Why would I ever lie to you?
Just thought I knew what you'd do with the truth
I thought I'd lose you
If you ever knew

Girl you might leave, it's hard to believe
But I don't blame you girl 'cause I don't even know me

Never thought I'd be the guy to break your heart
Thought I'd walked the line but I went too far
I know what I did changed everything
And I know running from her won't change anything
I don't have an alibi to make things right
I could apologize for the rest of my life
When I look into your eyes I wonder
Why would I ever lie to you?
Just thought I knew what you'd do with the truth
I thought I'd lose you
If you ever knew

I thought I'd lose you
If you ever knew
