Stronger than the truth

I never dreamed of wantin' more
Than a small town, simple life
A little money in our pockets
You're my husband, I'm your wife

But then I fell in icy water
Standing in the grocery line
I overheard my name and yours
And one I did not recognize

Now everything I thought I knew is walking out the door
There's a bottle on the table tellin' me
The only thing I know for sure

Is there's not a sound, a sound as loud as silence
There's not a blade sharper than a lie
There's not a low lower than being the last one to know
You got a brand new start with someone new
And there's no whiskey stronger than the truth

You never think it'd be your story
When you're pulling the wool off your eyes
You know, you think you know somebody
Then you don't and you don't know why

Havin' me another won't make the clock rewind
But I'm drinking every drop knowing
What I'm looking for I'll never find

There's not a sound, a sound as loud as silence
There's not a blade sharper than a lie
There's not a low lower than being the last one to know
Oh, you got a brand new start with someone new
And there's no whiskey stronger than the truth

The only thing I can do
Is pour a glass and pretend
That this pain's gonna end

There's not a sound, a sound as loud as silence
There's not a blade sharper than a lie
There's not a low lower than being the last one to know
Oh, you got a brand new start with someone new
And there's no whiskey stronger than the truth
No, there's no whiskey stronger than the truth
