Verse 1
There's a hundred different shades of grey
We find the truth where we may
And everybody lies, but not like you
Your tales just don't ring true
Bridge
I'm so tired of reading between your lines
Don't know why you can't just speak your mind
Just speak your mind
Chorus
Why I let you play me this way
I'll never know
I should let you go
But oh, the truth is lonely
Verse 2
I can see I'm just a fool to you
Putting up with al the things you do
But you should watch your step, you ain't no Johnny Depp
There's other fish and I could cast my net
Bridge
I'm so tired of reading between your lines
Don't know why you can't just speak your mind
Just speak your mind
Chorus
Why I let you play me this way
I'll never know
I should let you go
But oh, the truth is lonely
Verse 3
I suppose I ought to settle down
Some quiet chap, a little house in town
But I might miss the thrill of how your kisses chill
My blood and make my heart stop, still -
Bridge
I'm so tired of reading between your lines
Don't know why you can't just speak your mind
Just speak your mind
Chorus
Why I let you play me this way
I'll never know
I should let you go
But oh, the truth is lonely
Coda
Your words are lies, but your kisses taste like wine
So keep them coming, 'cause you make me feel so fine
And oh, the truth is lonely
I said the truth is lonely
Yes, the truth is lonely
