stronger than the truth

i never dreamed of wantin' more

than a small town

simple life

a little money in our pockets

you're my husband

i'm your wife

but then i fell in icy water

standing in the grocery line

i overheard my name and yours

and one i did not recognize

now everything i thought i knew is walking out the door

there's a bottle on the table tellin' me the only thing i know for sure

is there's not a sound

a sound as loud as silence

there's not a blade sharper than a lie

there's not a low lower than being the last one to know

you got a brand new start with someone new

and there's no whiskey stronger than the truth

you never think it'd be your story

when you're pulling the wool off your eyes

you know

you think you know somebody

then you don't and you don't know why

havin' me another won't make the clock rewind

but i'm drinking every drop knowing what i'm looking for i'll never find

there's not a sound

a sound as loud as silence

there's not a blade sharper than a lie

there's not a low lower than being the last one to know

oh

you got a brand new start with someone new

and there's no whiskey stronger than the truth

the only thing i can do

is pour a glass and pretend

that this pain's gonna end

there's not a sound

a sound as loud as silence

there's not a blade sharper than a lie

there's not a low lower than being the last one to know

oh

you got a brand new start with someone new

and there's no whiskey stronger than the truth

no

there's no whiskey stronger than the truth
