Todd Rundgren - Sweet lyrics

I've been living with a lie for so long now, baby I gotta set my soul free, I can't take it no more That's why I gotta Sing and shout it, tell the world about it The truth is sweet I made a promise to myself not to let nobody else Have any sway on the way I lived my life I didn't see the need to compromise but now I've come to realize That living is more than just surviving And I've been lying to myself, I gotta cover up what I feel But now it's time I must admit this is real, this is real The truth is sweet Just like honey from a bee, the truth is sweet So many people in the world let it all pa** them by They won't admit they need rescued from their lonely lives That's why we gotta sing and shout it tell the world about it The truth is sweet When you've been hurt so many times it's enough to make you blind To anything that feels like true happiness Nobody wants to be the foolish one but after all is said and done You constantly settle for less It's like a broken carousel, it just goes round & round & round But now it's time you admit you've lost ground Hear that sound? The truth is sweet Just like a baby's kiss, the truth is sweet Go on admit it, you know you want it to be true Go on admit it, you say you don't but you know you do Go on admit it, you've been disguising what you feel You could be living in a fantasy But then that fantasy could turn out to be real Sweet and true like my love for you And everybody in the world's gonna wake up some day Singing love is the answer, love is the answer What's left to say?
