The Truth

I'm gonna tell you straight The only reason I have this is you I didn't always tell you the truth I didn't want to make your pain worse Did it work? And it has been fifteen years Fifteen fucking years Since I let my guard down Since I let my guard down And I know exactly where to point the blame Please listen when I say... You always gave us more than we deserved You always gave us more than we deserved You always gave us more than we deserved You always gave us more than we deserved I'm gonna tell you straight To you I have to prove nothing And if I could have, I would have Brought all your roses When I stumbled, you broke the fall You always gave us more than we deserved Youth and dependency dies away But I will never forget The sacrifices you have made and will make
