The truth

I'm so glad you can't read my mind
That there's a part of me you can't see through
That what may be contrived
Might look natural to you

I don't want to give away, whatever it is that keeps you interested

Some people we thought were so deep
Were really just half asleep
But they carried themselves so well
It was only up close you could tell

That silence was their way of keeping us all so interested

So if it's the truth you really want and nothing but the truth
Would I have to say the kind of things that might hurt you
What you don't know can only hurt you when you find out
And whose truth do you want and from what point of view
And is it such a disappointment that it's not an absolute

I don't know everything you feel
I know you keep some thoughts from me
I accept it as part of the deal
Part of your mystery

And I hope you never give away, whatever it is that keeps me interested

'Cause if it's the truth you really want and nothing but the truth
Would I have to say the kind of things that might hurt you
What you don't know can only hurt you when you find out
And whose truth do you want and from what point of view
And is it such a disappointment that it's not an absolute
And when it all comes out you might have nothing but the truth

And I hope you never give away, whatever it is that keeps me interested

'Cause if it's the truth you really want and nothing but the truth
Would I have to say the kinds of things that might hurt you
What you don't know can only hurt you when you find out
And whose truth do you want and from what point of view
And when it all comes out you might have nothing but the truth

Yeah, you might have nothing but the truth
Nothing but the truth
