The truth runs wild

Like a tear down a cheek

Trying to save face, and daddy heart break

I'm lying through my teeth.

This voice inside

Has been eating at me

Trying to replace the love that I fake

With what we both need.

The truth runs wild

Like kids on concrete

Trying to sedate, my mind in it's cage

And numb what I see.

Awake, wide eyed

I'm screaming at me

Trying to keep faith and picture his face

Staring up at me.

Without losing a piece of me

How do I get to heaven?

Without changing a part of me

How do I get to heaven?

All my time is wasted

Feeling like my heart's mistaken, oh...

So if I'm losing a piece of me

Maybe I don't want heaven?

[Betty who]

The truth runs wild

Like the rain to the sea

Trying to set straight the lines that I trace

To find some relief

This voice inside

Has been eating at me.

Trying to embrace the picture I paint

And colour me free.

Without losing a piece of me

How do I get to heaven?

Without changing a part of me

How do I get to heaven?

All my time is wasted

Feeling like my heart's mistaken, oh...

So if I'm losing a piece of me

Maybe I don't want heaven?

So I'm counting to fifteen

Counting to fifteen, counting to fifteen

So I'm counting to fifteen

Counting to fifteen, counting to fifteen

So I'm counting to fifteen

Counting to fifteen, counting to fifteen

So I'm counting to fifteen

Counting to fifteen, counting to fifteen.

Without losing a piece of me

How do I get to heaven?

Without changing a part of me

How do I get to heaven?

All my time is wasted

Feeling like my heart's mistaken, oh

So if I'm losing a piece of me

Maybe I don't want heaven?

The truth runs wild

Like a tear down a cheek.
