Truth Be Told

Compositor: Laura Clare

Truth be told
I didn’t know
How I could write this without
Sounding like I still care
'Cause I don’t
Just wanna know
How you can go from coming on
Too strong to not being there at all

It’s like, did you even care at all?

It’s not even like I'm invested
I’d just like to know why
I’ve been messed with
'Cause it was one or two texts
And then you’re asking me out
Now I stare at the phone
Trying to figure you out

But truth be told
I didn’t know you
And truth be told
You never wanted me to

I waited, and waited
For days for you, honey
Almost booked my ticket
I'm glad I kept my money
All my friends said
I should’ve known better
Than to trust you
Mr nice guy was one mask
I couldn’t see through

That’s why I waited, and waited
(I waited and waited)
Yeah, I waited and waited
(I waited and waited)
I waited and waited
(I waited and waited)

Under a month
Then we were done
No time for it to go so wrong
We didn’t last long
Enough for you
To make me feel used
I'm literally just so confused (what?!)

I wouldn’t mind an explanation from you

'Cause I waited, and waited
For days for you, honey
Almost booked my ticket
I'm glad I kept my money
All my friends said I should’ve
Known better than to trust you
Mr nice guy was one mask
I couldn’t see through

That’s why I waited, and waited
(I waited and waited)
Yeah, I waited and waited
(I waited and waited)
That's why I waited and waited
(I waited and waited)
Yeah, I waited and waited
(I waited and waited)

Didn’t take you long to get invested
Yet somehow I'm the one that gets messed with
'Cause it was over and done with in a matter of weeks
And you’re the one that ran, so why am I blaming me?

Cause truth be told
I didn’t know you
And truth be told
You never wanted me to

Six months gone
You come along
You say I'm sorry for the way that everything went down
But trust me, babe
When I say
That I am not the girl you hurt when you took the easy way out

It’s her that needs your apology now

'Cause I waited and waited
(I waited and waited)
I waited and waited
(I waited and waited)

Yeah, I waited and waited
I waited and waited

For you
