Speak The Truth

So hard to find peace
When there's a fire in me
I'll not be still
You cannot lie to me
Don't try to tempt me
Get thee behind me

(Ooh, Uh-huh...)

Impossible perhaps to dream
But not to ignore it
Close enough to seek the path
But too scared to explore it
Sometimes when you speak the truth
You're really asking for it

(Ooh, Uh-huh,,,)

Love does not tread lightly
Neither should we
Let us discuss the matter, then
Reason with me
Love does not make choices
Neither should we
Let us discuss the matter, then
Reason with me

(Ooh, Uh-huh...)

Too much to believe
But just enough to second-guess
You haven't told me no
But I've yet to hear yes
Sometimes when you speak the truth
You feel more cursed than blessed

(Ooh, Uh-huh,,,)

Love does not tread lightly
Neither should we
Let us discuss the matter, then
Reason with me
Love does not make choices
Neither should we
Let us discuss the matter, then
Reason with me

(Ooh, Uh-huh...)
