Tell Him the Truth

by Tori amos

If you've ever kept a secret
From the one you love
This is what it feels like
If you thought that i was perfect
boy you were wrong
Im far from that
There's one thing that i've done to you
That i regret and
Look i know its no excuse but
Im only human and young at that
And im gonna make mistakes
And hope you understand
Didn't see it comin
Wasn't on purpose
Baby i promise
I didnt mean to hurt you
Will you forgive me
You didnt deserve this
I know it wasn't worth it
Im a tell him the truth (when im ready to)
Tell him the truth (some how)
Gotta tell him the truth (Thats what i gotta do)
Tell him the truth (but not now)
Gotta Tell him the truth (just wait a little bit)
Tell him the truth (he couldn't handle it)
Tell him the truth (thats what i gotta do)
Tell him the truth (but not now ooh)
Didn't see when i had tears rolling down my face
I turned my back
It was heavy on the tongue
And i kenew that you knew something was wrong
I was about to break open spill out everything
but something said
Keri wait, things are going great, what you gonna say
i dont know maybe something like
Didn't see it comin
Wasnt on purpose
Baby i promise
I didnt mean to hurt you
Will you forgive me
You didnt deserve this
I know it wasn't worth it
Im a tell him the truth (when im ready to)
Tell him the truth (some how)
Gotta tell him the truth (Thats what i gotta do)
Tell him the truth (but not now)
Gotta Tell him the truth (just wait a little bit)
Tell him the truth (he couldn't handle it)
Tell him the truth (thats what i gotta do)
Tell him the truth (but not now ooh)
I feel less (than nothin)
Lower (than zero)
and tired (of frontin)
Gotta tell him the truth ooh
I feel less (than nothin)
Lower (than zero)
and tired (of frontin)
Gotta tell him the truth ooh
Guess i've been waitin for the stars to align
there's no perfect time
i gotta tell him the truth
Cause it's hard to build the truth on a lie
and if thats what I want
i gotta tell him the truth (when im ready to)
Tell him the truth (some how)
Gotta tell him the truth (Thats what i gotta do)
Tell him the truth (but not now)
Gotta Tell him the truth (just wait a little bit)
Tell him the truth (he couldn't handle it)
Tell him the truth (thats what i gotta do)
I gotta (but not now ooh)
Baby I'm crying
I'm crying, oh
Baby (tell him the truth)
(I know I gotta do)
(I know, I know I gotta do)
(tell him the truth)
I'm so scared (I know I gotta do)
And I'm sitting here all alone (I know, I know I gotta do)
And I want to tell you, oh what do I do
