The Truth Is Ugly

[Woman's voice:] I walk along this dusty road (x2) [Intro: Tom Scott] I know that you don't wanna hear it But I gotta be true (the truth is ugly) Shit, I gotta be true (the truth is ugly) Gotta be true (the truth is ugly) Cause ahh... [Verse 1: Tom Scott] I think I've been feeling this way for some time now But just too chicken to say that I want a time out In case you start crying, finding it hard lying Together in bed when sparks aren't flying Part of my heart dying And still we aren't trying to resuscitate What we do is sit around and watch it suffocate Want to put you out your pain, but I ain't got the guts to break Your neck could even cut the cord and jump, or cut the cake Like I do, or do I need to need you? Or maybe you need me to leave you, I need to Be me, I need to be you be true I know we never knew we would lose, so we knew Now what should we do? look, I don't know All I really know is neither of us want to die alone Sitting on this unicorn hoping it'll fly us home Even though we both know it died a long time ago And I've been bullshitting, two-timing Fantasizing, midnighting with this chick I met online and I've been lying like she's just a friend, but don't believe what I say I do know who's spot it is, and where I was on Friday Wasn't really where I said I was, and when I said I loved you, I Really only said it cause I thought that it might get you off Texting exes, adding extra x's Hoping that you'd check my texts, and then maybe get the message that... [Hook: Tom Scott] That the truth is ugly And I know You know That I don't Shit, the truth is ugly And I know That you know That I know That you don't love me The truth is ugly [Verse 2: Tom Scott] I know you've been feeling this way for some time now But just too chicken to say you want a time out In case I start spazzing, wake your parents with the glass smashing Steal your car, crash into his house, start slashing at his throat Oh yeah, I found that note you wrote You tell me that you smoke Pall Mall, I know you don't It's all a lie, you stare at me, I stare at you I wonder why, I've never seen you wear perfume I see your eyes, I spy, I see the way you laugh at him Stroking on his cardigan, dancing with him to Parliament While I sit at the bar and wince, dancing with a glass of gin Sparking up an argument, accusing you of starting it Just to get some tension, cause I miss your attention Trying not to mention it to try and preserve the friendship But it's been about a year now, and we ain't been the same since And when I hear you scream, it isn't in the same pitch It's been ages since your nails dug into my back But I felt your knife when I found his number in your bag Cut the act, we ain't the people that we used to love This shit is dying, and neither of us wants to pull the plug I know you're thinking about marriage, honeymoon in Paris But I'm still in the garage, your mom is still embarrassed Like how could he be a parent when he couldn't feed a parrot? It's apparent that you're sick of me, but I don't want to hear it, cause... [Hook: Tom Scott] The truth is ugly I know You know That I don't The truth is ugly I know That you know That I know That you don't love me The truth is ugly
