Tell him the truth

If you´ve ever kept a secret from the one you love?
This is what it feels like
If you thought that I was perfect
Boy you were wrong, I´m far from that
There´s one thing that I´ve done to you
That I regret and
Look I know it´s no excuse but
I´m only human and young at that
So I´m gonna make mistakes
And hope you understand
Didn´t see it comin´, wasn´t on purpose
Baby I promise I didn´t mean to hurt you
Will you forgive me? You didn´t deserve this
I know it wasn´t worth it
Refrain:
Gotta tell him the truth, when I´m ready to
Tell him the truth, somehow
Gotta tell him the truth, that´s what I gotta do
Tell him the truth, but not now
Gotta tell him the truth, just wait a little bit
Tell him the truth, he couldn´t handle it
Tell him the truth, that´s what I gotta do
Tell him the truth, but not now, oh
Didn´t see when I had tears rolling down my face
I turned my back, it was heavy on the tongue
And I knew that you knew something was wrong
I was about to break open, spill out everything
But something said, Keri wait
Things are going great, what you gonna say?
I don´t know maybe something like
Didn´t see it comin´, wasn´t on purpose
Baby I promise I didn´t mean to hurt you
Will you forgive me? You didn´t deserve this
I know it wasn´t worth it
Refrain:
Gotta tell him the truth, when I´m ready to
Tell him the truth, somehow
Gotta tell him the truth, that´s what I gotta do
Tell him the truth, but not now
Gotta tell him the truth, just wait a little bit
Tell him the truth, he couldn´t handle it
Tell him the truth, that´s what I gotta do
Tell him the truth, but not now, oh
I feel less than nothin´
Lower than zero
And I´m tired of frontin´
Gotta tell him the truth, ooh (x2)
Guess I´ve been waitin´ for the stars to align
There´s no perfect time, I gotta tell him the truth
´Cause it´s hard to build the truth on a lie
And if that´s what I want
Refrain:
I gotta tell him the truth, when I´m ready to
Tell him the truth, somehow
Gotta tell him the truth, that´s what I gotta do
Tell him the truth, but not now
Gotta tell him the truth, truth, just wait a little bit
Tell him the truth, he couldn´t handle it
Tell him the truth, that´s what I gotta do
I gotta but not now, oh
Baby, I´m cryin´, I´m crying´, oh
Gotta tell him the truth (I´m so scared)
Gotta tell him the truth (And I´m feel here all alone)
Gotta tell him the truth (And I really tell you what do I do)
This is what it feels like
If you thought that I was perfect
Boy you were wrong, I´m far from that
There´s one thing that I´ve done to you
That I regret and
Look I know it´s no excuse but
