The Simple Truth

We could color it, wrap it up, tie it with a bow
We could sugarcoat, be polite or say it isn't so
We could watch a movie till it's late
Then turn out the lights
Oh, but something in this pretty house
Just isn't right

Chorus:
So let the walls come down
Let it all fall down
Baby, make no excuse
I can't feel your love
Take off the kid gloves
And love me like you really do
By telling me the simple truth

Baby, lately we're on eggshells just tiptoeing around
And the silence is so deafening
It drowns out the sound of honesty
The deep emotions what we know is real
So even if you're hurt and angry tell me how you feel

Repeat Chorus

Hey what's going on in your head
This is me you're talking to
Let's get down to the heart of the matter
'Cause that's all that matters
I can't feel your love
Take off the kid gloves
And love me like you really do
By telling me the simple truth
