The truth is something you've heard about

It's only a word, after all

Wrecked families along the way

'Cause they looked at you the wrong way

And there's no one there for you

The bodies in your wake, it was their fault

They didn't try to understand you

There's always someone running behind you

Spreading dirt, to cover your tracks

What a price I paid back then

For a little warmth, you wanted everything I had

I'll never reach for you again

If you could only hear what people say

You have to live with yourself, every day

But I can walk away
