Just Want You To Know The Truth

Let's go back to Wolf Pen
Long before I pulled away
Wanderin' around construction sites
An open house on Sunday

We were dreamin' of the kitchen
That would surely go right there
Deep breaths full of sawdust
We'd laugh and climb the stairs, yeah

Lasagna's in the oven
It's another Christmas Eve
You and I would go and hide
Until it came time to eat

I was feelin' so important
'Cause you said I understood
You'd fall asleep to the TV
I'd try, but I never could

Well, there's a lot that I would like to say to you
I just want you to know the truth

Endless nights of mystery
While sittin' on the couch
Watchin' Antiques Roadshow
Guessin' what it's all about

I wondered where you might be
But I didn't think too hard
Life was goin' great then
I hung up my report card

Well, I don't feel ashamed 'cause it's all I ever knew
I just want you to know the truth

Once you had left home
We cleaned out the house
Came upon some skeletons
That none of us knew shit about

If I told you I was okay
Well that would have been a lie
So, I blocked your telephone
Without sayin' goodbye

Well, it's not what you did, it's what you didn't do
I just want you to know the truth

A couple some odd years ago
You said: Sweetie take your time
So now I'm singin' to an empty chair
Bleedin' out every line

It's not that I don't miss you
Or the way it used to be
It's that I can't live my life
Without sayin' anything

So, when it comes time to talk, I got nothin' to prove
I just want you to know the truth

Well, I'm not ready, but I hope I will be soon
I just want you to know the truth
