Squeeze - The Truth lyrics

(Difford/Tilbrook)

I lied to you, I've cheated too

So what friend can I be

But still you stick through thick and thin

Hoping that you'll change me

I towed the line then fell behind

Our love began to wane

The pressure grew and then I knew

That things were not the same

The truth

It's the toughest thing to explain

The truth

Playing tricks with me again

When the truth has to be told

My blood runs hot and cold

The truth is not my middle name

You threw a rope attached with hope

Way down into the sea

Where lovers swim so deep within

The tides of mystery

For what it's worth I don't deserve

A girl as strong as you

You're worth much more than me I'm sure

Accept this as the truth
