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

And 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, ooh)

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

I turned my back

It was heavy on the tongue

(And I knew that you knew something was wrong)

I was about to break open, spill out everything

But something said

"Keri, wait, things are going great, what you gonna say?"

"I don't know, maybe something 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, ooh)

I feel less (than nothin')

Lower (than zero)

And tired (of frontin)

Gotta tell him the truth, ooh

I feel less (than nothin')

Lower (than zero)

And I'm tired (of frontin)

Gotta tell him the truth, ooh

Guess I've been waitin' for the stars to 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

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, oh (just wait a little bit)

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

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

I gotta (but not now, ooh)

Baby, I'm cryin'

I'm, I'm cryin'

Ohh

Gotta tell him the truth, ohh

(I know I gotta do, I know, I know I gotta do)

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

I'm so scared, and I'm sittin' here all alone

Gotta tell him the truth (and I'll tell you)

What do I do? What do I do?
