Текст песни
[Verse 1] You showed up late with a paper-thin excuse Two loose buttons and a brand-new pair of shoes Said the train ran slow, said the clock was wrong But your grin gave away where you had been all along [Pre-Chorus] I know that look, I know that tune You change your story every afternoon [Chorus] Tell me straight, don't dress it up Truth tastes better than a borrowed bluff You can bend the facts, you can change your name But a crooked little story still lands the same [Verse 2] You promised three calls, I counted one Then blamed the rain and the setting sun Your old blue jacket hung by the door With a ticket stub from the night before [Pre-Chorus] I know that look, I know that tune You change your story every afternoon [Chorus] Tell me straight, don't dress it up Truth tastes better than a borrowed bluff You can bend the facts, you can change your name But a crooked little story still lands the same [Bridge] Now the band is quiet and the room stands still You can keep your secrets if you always will But if you want my trust, put the cards on the table Say what really happened while your voice is able [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] Tell me straight, don't dress it up Truth tastes better than a borrowed bluff You can bend the facts, you can change your name But a crooked little story still lands the same Tell me straight, let the whole thing roll A clean confession can repair a soul [Outro] No more smoke, no more disguise Just the honest answer in your eyes
