Lyrics

[Chorus] Tell the truth to yourself And the rest will fall in place Tell the truth to yourself And the rest will fall in place [Verse 1] I lied to the doctor I lied to my lover [Pre-Chorus] I wanna make amends, but where do I start? [Chorus] Tell the truth to yourself (Tell the truth) And the rest will fall in place (To your) Tell the truth to yourself (Tell the truth) And the rest will fall in place [Bridge] Ah, ah Ah, ah Tell the truth to yourself Tell the truth [Interlude] I can make my mother, my father, my sister, my brother My lover, my neighbor, my friends all happy Give of myself whatever they ask But without this single truth It is only emptiness that I cast A happiness that will not last But I'm not here for that For what does happiness help Without this simple truth given to thyself? [Verse 2] I was the coward How they strangled your heart [Pre-Chorus] I wanna make amends, but where do I start? [Chorus] Tell the truth to yourself And the rest will fall in place Tell the truth to yourself And the rest will fall in place Tell the truth to yourself (Tell the truth) And the rest will fall in place (To your) Tell the truth to yourself (Tell the truth) And the rest will fall in place
