I've come to talk to you tonight About the things I've seen you do
I've come to set the record straight I've come to shine the light on you
Let me introduce myself, I'm the cold hard truth
n.c. E A
She gave her heart and soul to you You gave her only broken dreams
You say you're not the one to blame For all the heartache she's been through
I say you're nothing but a liar And I'm the cold hard truth
All your life that's how it's been Looking out for number one
Taking more than you give Movin' on when you're done
With her you could have it all A family enough to last
If you had any sense at all You'd go and beg her to come back (key change)
You think that you're a real man But you're nothing but a fool
The way you run away from love The way you try to play it cool
I'm gonna say this just one time Time is running out on you
You best remember me my friend I'm the cold hard truth
You best remember my my friend I am the cold hard truth
