I won't go to see a movie 'Cause I don't like the way it plays on me I don't wanna go to a party 'Cause I don't want the whole world to see me In a place I don't belong, I would rather write a song Even better, sing along with you You can sing a song so well, like a good night story tale That brings me back to youth 'Cause All I want is the truth My baby, give me some truth All I want is the truth now My baby, give me some truth All I want is the truth I won't go to see a live show 'Cause I wanna see behind the scene No, no, I don't wanna know How you turn all the faces green All I wanted is to see how a prisoner breaks free And a flock of birds fly up the sky Happiness and misery get together on a tree Like a failure that comes with a try 'Cause All I want is the truth My baby, give me some truth All I want is the truth now My baby, give me some truth All I want is the truth

Miles and miles on my own Walk with shame, I follow on A language to find hard to hear Not to understand, just disappear To hold your heart, to hold your hand Would be to me, the greatest thing To hold your heart, hold your hand Would be to me, the bravest thing Could you take my place and stand here? I do not think you'd take this pain You'll be on your knees and struggle under the weight Oh, the truth would be a beautiful thing Oh, the truth is a beautiful thing I wear another thought of you There's so much home I give to you Hide you somewhere they don't know Deep in my call you know you have a throne Hold your heart, hold your hand Would be to me, the greatest thing To hold your heart, to hold your hand Would be to me, the bravest thing Could you take my place and stand here? I don't think you'll take this pain You'll be on your knees and struggle under the weight Oh the truth would be a beautiful thing Oh the truth is a beautiful thing Ooooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh

I didn't see this coming Thought we had this all worked out There's distance in your eyes I don't know what to say Or what we can, mend from here I just need to go We can't be no more And all I wanna do is cuddle up in a ball with you With you, with you And now I can't stop crying cos I'm thinking 'bout the times we spent We spent, we spent Cos you and I, honey We both know Love is the truth Yeah, love is the answer Yeah you and I, honey we both know Love is the truth Yeah, love is the answer Ohh ohh Yeah, love is the truth woahh ohh Love is the I just want, you to see I don't need you, to be anyone Just let me be me You've gotta remember that I can't see what's going on inside your head You just slam the door and go On me instead And all I wanna do is cuddle up in a ball with you With you, with you And now I can't stop crying cos I'm thinking 'bout the times we spent We spent, we spent Cos you and I, honey We both know Love is the truth Yeah, love is the answer Yeah you and I, honey We both know Love is the truth Yeah, love is the answer Ohh ohh Yeah love is the truth woahh ohh Our love is the You and I, honey We both know Our love is the truth Our love is the answer Yeah you and I, honey We both know Our love is the truth, yeah Our love is the answer Ohh ohh Yeah love is the truth woahh ohh Our love is the

Hear on the wind, how the pendulum swings Feel how the winter succumbs to the spring Over the palisade, morning will break Rise up to meet it, O sleeper, awake Gather the soldiers, the heir to enfold Crown him and give him a sceptre to hold Sound every horn as the columns extend Up to the hill, where the king will ascend Look to the sky, where the sign will be shown Heaven and earth and the king on his throne Look to the sky, where the sign will be shown

Climbing trees, like we did when we were children Scaling walls, the walls that took us years to build Climbing trees, haven't much since we were children Shaking limbs tend to end up bent and broken Safe inside the walls we built, we found ourselves a home Higher branches, harder fall Hesitation stops us all Higher branches, harder fall Hesitation stops us all Higher branches, harder fall Hesitation stops us all Higher branches, harder fall Hesitation stops us all Girl, you've never loved Climbing trees, haven't much since we were children Shaking limbs tend to end up bent and broken But heartache pales in comparison to love

Well, it's a long way out to reach the sea But I'm sure I'll find you waiting there for me And by the time I'll blink, I'll see your wild arms swinging Just to meet me in the middle of the road And you'll hold me like you'll never let me go And beside the salty water, I could hold you close But you are far too beautiful to love me Well, it's a long climb up the dusty mountain To build a turret tall enough to keep you out But when you wage your wars against the one who adores you Then you'll never know the treasure that you're worth But I've never been a wealthy one before I got holes in my pockets burned by liars gold But I think I'm far too poor for you to want me It's been a long road, losing all I know You don't know what you got until you're gone And it's a nasty habit, spending all you have But if you're doing all the leaving, then it's never your love lost If you leave before the start, there was never love at all Heaven knows I'm prone to leave the only God I should've loved And yet you're far too beautiful to leave me
