Lyrics:

Verse 1

Stumble over my words, try to look you in the eye
You see right through me, watch a part of you die
I was insistent, but not consistent with my story
It started with a small omission, that lead to justified suspicion
I’ve built myself a prison, each brick a small decision
Break free from deceit!

Chorus

I am telling the truth, I’m here to testify
I have seen the proof, oh honesty beats lies
Yeah, there’s one losing move, living with regret
I’ve decided to choose, to stop cheating myself

Verse 2

I walked in on you, I sensed something was wrong
I ignored all the clues, but my gut knew all along
A nauseous feeling, I was reeling, the room was spinning
I thought I knew where I stood, now the shoe is on the other foot
This house has no foundation, distrust, misinformation
Break free from deceit!

Bridge

I cannot call myself a victim, when all the damage is self inflicted
I was afraid to question my self-deception
Now I can’t avoid it
The antidote to poison

Chorus

I am telling the truth, I’m here to testify
I have seen the proof, oh honesty beats lies
Yeah, there’s one losing move, living with regret
I’ve decided to choose, to stop cheating myself
