The Cold Hard Truth

There won’t be a happy ending
To this love affair of ours
We burnt like a Roman candle
Now we’re falling like a shooting star
You used to light up when you’d see me
No you shudder at my sight
I used to love you every morning
Now I slip away each every night
I know it sounds a little harsh and a bit uncouth
But it’s the cold hard truth baby
Yeah it’s the cold hard truth

I curse the day I met you
I fell for you like some mark
I was happy as I ever was
Now my world is torn apart
You got me pouring down straight whiskey
You got me crawling on my knees
You got me feeling like I’m coming down
With a terminal disease
I hate your mama and your daddy
I hate your little sister Ruth
But it’s the cold hard truth
Yes it’s the cold hard truth

It’s the cold hard truth
It’s the cold hard truth
It’s the cold hard truth
Hell what’s the use

Let get this damn thing over
Go ahead and do your part
I knew you’d always leave me
I knew it from the start
You were just a bit too pretty
You were just a bit too smart
Go ahead and take that hateful gaze
And run it through my heart
I can take it baby
Go on and turn it loose
Give me the cold hard truth
I can take it baby
Give me the cold hard truth
