You Can't Take the Truth

Inspiral Carpets

Those words you wrote to me, they didn't mean a thing
They were just stupid jokes, I think you're one of them
Then you say to me, "this is our life, you know"
But I don't want to know, it could have to be that way

You can't take the truth (you can't take)
Would I've said these things I've said? (what I said)
You can't take the truth (you can't take)
Would I've said these things I say to you? (what I said)

I don't want to be the one that has to leave
I guess I'm sorry, dear, but someone has to choose
Then you look at me, I still feel something there
Then you start again with all those stupid words

You can't take the truth (you can't take)
Would I've said these things I've said? (what I said)
You can't take the truth (you can't take)
Would I've said these things I say to you? (what I said)

You can't take the truth (you can't take)
Would I've said these things I've said? (what I said)
You can't take the truth (you can't take)
Would I've said these things I say? (what I said)
You can't take the truth (you can't take)
Would I've said these things I've said? (what I said)
You can't take the truth (you can't take)
Would I've said these things I say to you? (what I said)
