Tell Him the Truth

If you've ever kept a secret from the one you love

This is what it feels like

If you thought that I was perfect, boy you were wrong

I'm far from that

There's one thing that I've done to you

That I regret, and

Look, I know it's no excuse, but I'm only human

And young at that

So, I'm gonna make mistakes

Then hope you understand

Didn't see it comin', wasn't on purpose

Baby, I promise, I didn't mean to hurt you

Will you forgive me? (You didn't deserve this)

I know it wasn't worth it

Gotta tell him the truth (When I'm ready to)

Tell him the truth (Somehow)

Gotta tell him the truth (That's what I gotta do)

Tell him the truth (But, not now)

Gotta tell him the truth (Just wait a little bit)

Tell him the truth (He couldn't handle it)

Tell him the truth (That's what I gotta do)

Tell him the truth (But, not now)

Didn't see when I had tears rollin' down my face

I turned my back

It was heavy on the tongue (And I knew that you knew)

(Somethin' was wrong, I knew it)

I was 'bout to break open, spill out everything

But something said

(Keri, wait, things are goin' great, what you gonna say?)

I don't know, maybe somethin' like

Didn't see it comin', wasn't on purpose

Baby, I promise, I didn't mean to hurt you

Will you forgive me? (You didn't deserve this)

I know it wasn't worth it

Gotta tell him the truth (When I'm ready to)

Tell him the truth (Somehow)

Gotta tell him the truth (That's what I gotta do)

Tell him the truth (But, not now)

Gotta tell him the truth (Just wait a little bit)

Tell him the truth (He couldn't handle it)

Tell him the truth (That's what I gotta do)

Tell him the truth (But, not now)

I feel less (Than nothin')

Lower (Than zero)

And tired (Of frontin')

(Gotta tell him the truth)

I feel less (Than nothin')

Lower (Than zero)

And I'm tired (Of frontin')

Gotta tell him the truth

Guess I've been waitin' for the stars align

There's no perfect time, I

Gotta tell him the truth

'Cause it's hard to build the truth on a lie

And if that's what I want, I

Gotta tell him the truth (When I'm ready to)

Tell him the truth (Somehow)

Gotta tell him the truth (That's what I gotta do)

Tell him the truth (But, not now)

Gotta tell him the truth, truth (Just wait a little bit)

Oh, tell him the truth (He couldn't handle it)

Tell him the truth (That's what I gotta do)

I gotta (But, not now)

Baby, I'm cryin'

I'm cryin'

Oh, oh, oh, ooh, oh, ooh, ooh

Gotta tell him the truth (I know what I gotta do)

(I know, I know what I gotta do)

Gotta tell him the truth (I know what I gotta do) (I'm so scared)

(And I'm feelin' all alone)

Gotta tell him the truth (And I will tell you, oh, what do I do?)
