Can't Bear the Truth (feat. Jim Cole)

by Rotaris

/

about

A four-to-the-floor, dancey number telling the story of someone running into a personified vice.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don’t really like you
I just like the fantasy
Drinking with some ice cubes
Loving all my salad days

[Pre-Chorus]
When I see you 'round at parties
All I wanna do is puke
But I smile all politely
‘Cause I can’t bear the truth

[Chorus]
‘Cause I can’t bear the truth
You drink me up
‘Cause I can’t bear the truth
You give me life
‘Cause I can’t bear the truth
You drink me up
‘Cause I can’t bear the truth
You give me life

[Verse 2]
When my lips meet yours
I just wanna drink you up
I swear this a detour
I just wanna test my luck

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I see you at the party
Still wanna go and puke
But I smile and grab you softly
‘Cause I can’t bear the truth

[Chorus]
‘Cause I can’t bear the truth
(You drink me up)
‘Cause I can’t bear the truth
(You give me life)
‘Cause I can’t bear the truth
(You drink me up)
‘Cause I can’t bear the truth
(You give me life)

[Outro]
See you on the way down, down
See you on the way down, down
See you on the way down, down
See you on the way down, down
