I need to tell the truth

I can't lie anymore

I need to do what's right

I know that's what my life is for

I can't be quiet anymore

About what I'm suppose to do

I need to tell the truth

And do what's right by you



I need to speak my mind

And let my heart run free

Your pain will heal with time

And one day you'll thank me

And as I follow my dream

And there is no room for you

Just know there was no scheme

It's just what I had to do



Trust yourself--you know all the answers

Trust yourself--you know what is right

Trust yourself--they're all there inside you

They've been there forever--just show them some light



Sometimes the truth brings pain

But broken dreams regrow

Not in the same old way

But change is life you know

And as I move on

To start my song anew

Please understand my need

To do what I have to do



Trust yourself--you know all the answers

Trust yourself--you know what is right

Trust yourself--they're all there inside you

They've been there forever--just show them some light



And as life goes on

Can we still be friends?

Don't let this circumstance

Cause our friendship to end



Trust yourself--you know all the answers

Trust yourself--you know what is right

Trust yourself--they're all there inside you

They've been there forever--just show them some light



I need to tell you the truth

I need to speak my mind

Sometimes the truth brings pain

Your pain will heal in time
