You say you love me and you lie
'Cause your heart is ugly and I'm tired
You held me under so I would drown
You made me silent, but I'm too loud

There was a time, I trusted you
You took my heart, broke it in two
All of these pills and all of these words
Couldn't take the pain away

Tell me the truth, babe (tell me the truth)
Did you ever feel anything?
'Cause my heart is black
But I still want you back
Tell me the truth, babe (tell me the truth)
Did I ever mean anything?
'Cause my heart is black
But I still want you back

You didn't mean it, but you lied
And in the end, I sacrificed myself to your haunted mind
I never saw it (I never) in your eyes
Yeah, without you here, I'm better off, I'm fine
I'm not fine

There was a time (there was a time), I needed you (I needed you)
To fix me up, (to fix me up) to tell the truth (to tell the truth)
You took the chance (you took the chance), said I was sick (said I was sick)
To keep me next to you

Tell me the truth, babe (tell me the truth)
Did you ever feel anything?
'Cause my heart is black
But I still want you back
Tell me the truth, babe (tell me the truth)
Did I ever mean anything?
'Cause my heart is black
But I still want you back
