Home Truth Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Home Truth Lyrics

    I hung up the phone tonight
    Just as you said i love you
    Once this would have been coincidence
    Now these things start to bother me
    You still close your eyes when i kiss you
    And i close mine too
    But we didn't open them again
    Quite as wide as we should

    This is where the home truth ends
    This is where the home truth ends

    Does your touch feel the same as it should do
    Or is it someone quite similar
    Who killed me with kindness last night
    Now do i look at all familiar?
    But none of these things seem to matter
    Since we've grown apart
    I'd put back the pieces of what's shattered
    But i don't know where to start

    This is where the home truth ends
    This is where the home truth ends

    This is where the home truth ends
    And i feel like a clown
    It's tearing me up
    It's tearing me down

    You say which are the lies that you tell me
    Well where do i begin?
    So i turn on the tv again
    And the world comes crashing in
    Is it my shirt or my toothpaste
    That is whiter than white?
    Is it the lies that i tell you
    Or the lies that i might?

    This is where the home truth ends
    This is where the home truth ends

    Chorus
