Elvis Costello Home Truth

Tekst piosenki

[Verse 1]
I hung up the phone tonight
Just as you said I love you
Once this would have been coincidence
Now these things start to bother me
You still close your eyes when I kiss you
And I close mine too
But we didn’t open them again
Quite as wide as we should

[Chorus]
This is where the home truth ends [x2]

[Verse 2]
Does your touch feel the same as it should do
Or is it someone quite similar
Who killed me with kindness last night
Now do I look at all familiar?
But none of these things seem to matter
Since we’ve grown apart
I’d put back the pieces of what’s shattered
But I don’t know where to start

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
This is where the home truth ends
And I feel like a clown
It’s tearing me up
It’s tearing me down
You say which are the lies that you tell me
Well where do I begin?
So I turn on the TV again
And the world comes crashing in
Is it my shirt or my toothpaste
That is whiter than white?
Is it the lies that I tell you
Or the lies that I might?

[Chorus][x2]
