lyrics

the truth isn't always pretty
but when it is, it's like a knife
sometimes ornate, or simple in elegance
but always sharp enough to ruin a life


there's a discrepancy
within your story
but you wouldn't lie to me...
would you?

give me the dirt
lay it all bare
you dug a hole
you buried me there
i am no fool
but you fooled me
my, what a plot twist
you turned out to be

the truth is very rarely easy
and on the off-chance that it is
it's like a game, one played by children
someone loses, and someone wins
and it seems you've won

give me the dirt
lay it all bare
you dug a hole
you buried me there
i am no fool
but you fooled me
my, what a plot twist
you turned out to be

the truth is almost never good for one's health
when it is, it's like a pill
or a shot that lands right in the muscle
time may pass, but it smarts even still

the truth is often disagreed upon
i find that's often true
especially in delicate situations
cases like these- cases like you

give me the dirt
lay it all bare
you dug a hole
you buried me there
i am no fool
but you fooled me
my, what a plot twist
you turned out to be

i am no fool
but you fooled me
my, what a plot twist
you turned out to be
