Anything But the Truth

I’ve been clinging to… Anything but the truth. There was someone else. Everyone could tell, And I was only lying to myself. I dared not dream There would ever be A day you’d say ‘love,’ then lie to me. If ignorance is bliss, There goes my happiness. I’ve been clinging to Anything, anything, anything... (but the truth) No more will I hold onto Anything, anything, anything but the truth. Oh, I needed you, And it’s all I can do, Not to hate me more than I hate you. When my good name Will never be the same As you get away without any blame. Keep your appearances. I’ll keep my conscience. I’ve been clinging to Anything, anything, anything... (but the truth) No more will I hold onto Anything, anything, anything but the truth. No more chances, Or broken promises. I’ve been clinging to…. Anything but the truth. No more will I hold onto Anything, anything, anything but the truth. (repeat chorus once)
