Let's go back to Wolf Pen Long before I pulled away Wanderin' around construction sites An open house on Sunday We were dreamin' of the kitchen That would surely go right there Deep breaths full of sawdust We'd laugh and climb the stairs, yeah Lasagna's in the oven It's another Christmas Eve You and I would go and hide Until it came time to eat I was feelin' so important 'Cause you said I understood You'd fall asleep to the TV I'd try, but I never could Well, there's a lot that I would like to say to you I just want you to know the truth Endless nights of mystery While sittin' on the couch Watchin' Antiques Roadshow Guessin' what it's all about I wondered where you might be But I didn't think too hard Life was goin' great then I hung up my report card Well, I don't feel ashamed 'cause it's all I ever knew I just want you to know the truth Once you had left home We cleaned out the house Came upon some skeletons That none of us knew shit about If I told you I was okay Well that would have been a lie So, I blocked your telephone Without sayin' goodbye Well, it's not what you did, it's what you didn't do I just want you to know the truth A couple some odd years ago You said: Sweetie take your time So now I'm singin' to an empty chair Bleedin' out every line It's not that I don't miss you Or the way it used to be It's that I can't live my life Without sayin' anything So, when it comes time to talk, I got nothin' to prove I just want you to know the truth Well, I'm not ready, but I hope I will be soon I just want you to know the truth
