[ Featuring Madi Blackmore ]
Let's play a game of two truths one lie
Ive never seen my father cry
Every time he raised his hand mum closed her eyes
And he went away every month
Left her with two girls and a son
It was hard but she survived
Its not her fault that your love got laid down to rest
With the dog that we buried
Way back when we had the
House on the lake
Played guitar and sang and
Corner stores that made our days
But its not the same now
Childhood memories in shades of grey now
Tell him that you love him
Lie to his face
But you cant hide the fear that lives in its place
We're a happy family
To the outer eye
But there's a girl who holds her mother
While she cries
Two truths one lie
Two truths
Two truths
Slaps on the wrist were
Better than this
We caught his secret tryst
Mums messaging
We must tell Dean
But he doesn't believe
Then our birthday came
Couldn't even wait a day
What a better way to celebrate
Than to separate
Two truths one lie
Two truths
Two truths
Its not her fault that your love got laid down to rest
With the dog that we buried
Way back when we had the
House on the lake
Played guitar and sang and
Corner stores that made our days
Shouting through the phone
It echoed through our home
Could feel it in my bones
Patriarchy strong
Left her with the kids
Missed hours in the hundreds
Just to pay the bills
Tell me was it worth it
Tell him that you love him
Lie to his face
But you cant hide the fear that lives in its place
We're a happy family
To the outer eye
But there's a girl who holds her mother
While she cries
Two truths one lie
Two truths one lie
