Lyrics Jake Scott – Truth Be Told
Text:
There’s nothing good within me
If I’m honest
And If I’m honest, there are times
I will try
And make it seem like it was light
All along
But it’s a lie
If truth be told, I’m nothing
On my own
The only thing I know for sure
Is that I don’t know a thing
To be sure
If you only knew
What I’ve been prone to do
You’d run far and fast away
From me, Oh God
Hear my plea
Cause all I see
Is this darkness that is buried
Within me
So darling don’t dare trust me
If I say I’m ok
If truth be told, I do the things
That I hate everyday
Anyway
If ever I may think
Myself to be more than a wretched man
Forgive me, and please don’t let me
Ruin myself once again with these chains
I’ll do whatever it takes just to make sure
My head stays above
This water that is filling my lungs
If only I could do
The good I want to do
I’d leave this place forever
And I would never
Turn back around just to fight this old war
Because I’m broken and I’m begging
For something more
