lyrics

a moment’s hesitation
it’s such a simple thing
it tells me all that I need to know
it tells me everything
in the time that it takes
for the words that form in your mind
to make their way to your mouth
that’s when you’re breaking my heart

so tell me the truth

we keep connecting
in spite of all our faults
lies and crying three-fourths of the time
that doesn’t make it a waltz
in the time that it takes
for the hand that slaps my face
to pull me in for a kiss
that’s when you’re breaking my heart

so tell me the truth
that’s all I’m waiting for
some sign of proof
tell me the truth
you know the closer I get
the more it seems
you’re just like a stranger

we fall in bed together
but then we fall apart
and by the time the credits roll
we’re just alone in the dark
in the time that it takes
for me to realize
that you’re the one that I want
I’ve gone and broken your heart

so tell me the truth
that’s what I’m waiting for
the final proof
tell me the truth
you know the closer I get
the more it seems you’re just like a stranger
