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
