“Truth”

Stirring up regrets in my morning coffee cup.
Sitting on the train, and I’m dipped in blues,
listening to all my saddest tunes,
and now it’s just gone half past two.
Where did the time go?

Seeing all the kids out in the park.
Moms and dads, close at heart.
Wish that I could go back to the start.
Maybe I can go back to the start.

Lost in limbo day to day,
stuck inside I wanna play.
Tell me the truth now.
Is this what you want?
Happiness on the line-
I didn’t want this life.
Tell me the truth now.
This ain’t what you want.

Hit up friends from down the block.
Catch up, find out, whether or not
we can do this all again.
We can do this all again.

All we gotta do is break it down.
Map it out.
It’s all about stepping back and takin’ it to the start.

Lost in limbo day to day,
stuck inside I wanna play.
Tell me the truth now.
Is this what you want?
Happiness on the line-
I didn’t want this life.
Tell me the truth now.
This ain’t what you want.

(x2)
Tell me the truth now.
Tell me the truth, oh tell me.
Tell me the truth now.
Is this what you want?

Tell me the, tell me the-
Tell me the, oh.
Tell me the, tell me the-
Is this what you want?

Tell me the, tell me the
tell me the, oh.
Tell me the, tell me the-
This ain’t what you want.
