Staind – The Truth 0

It’s 3 AM, it’s cold outside, you can’t sleep.
Is it from your conscience talking to the skeletons you keep?
Every time you try to speak, only craziness comes out.
But she can’t turn the other cheek.
And you can’t hide how it comes out.
So when did you decide to embrace what you hate to survive?
'Cause that’s not what got us here.

It’s 8 AM and still no sleep.
But you don’t care.
I don’t know why I keep on calling.
Does it get us anywhere?
'Cause every time I try to speak.
You never let my words come out.
I can’t turn the other cheek.
And I can’t help how this comes out.
So when did you decide to embrace what you hate to survive?
'Cause that’s not what got us here

Honestly, I don’t know how you could see.
Something you once saw in me.
Just another volunteer.
Wonder if you ever lie awake in bed and think about the things you said.
Your dedication shows that you can’t see your eyes are closed.
And all the promises you made to me, they seem to fade and leave me with this disappointment.
That these words can never show.

When your ride is over and you’re hanging by a thread.
As your house of cards is falling, just remember what I said.
So when do you decide to embrace you hate to survive?
'Cause that’s not what got us here.

And honestly, I don’t know how you could see.
Something you once saw in me.
Just another volunteer.
