We, we got stories to tell
The lines beneath my eyes show that it's true
I got no reason to lie to you or anyone
And I never did before
And I never will again
Because you, you know
When the truth is told
It puts fiction to shame
When I get blue
All I want to do
Is hear someone sing along
Just one more time
To hear the tune
We wrote in your bedroom
I stole the words from you
From your notebook after you had gone to sleep
Even the simple stuff can get rough
But I'd rather not pretend
Because you, you know
When the truth is told
It puts fiction to shame
We laid awake in bed and listened to the train
We stayed up 'til two talking again and again
We had a couple drinks and we wrote down these words
We never would have known if we had disturbed
The neighbors
If it's not wrong, then it must be right
We go quietly through life
And I know when our story must be told
Those days seem so far away
But at the same time, they seem like yesterday
Because you, you know
When the truth is told
It puts fiction to shame
