Tell Him the Truth

Floyd Nathaniel Hills, Keri Hilson, Marcella Christina Araica

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
And 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

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, ooh)

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

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, ooh)

I feel less (than nothin')
Lower (than zero)
And tired (of frontin)
Gotta tell him the truth
I feel less (than nothin')
Lower (than zero)
And I'm tired (of frontin)
Gotta tell him the truth
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
I gotta tell him the truth

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)
Oh, tell him the truth (he couldn't handle it)
Tell him the truth (that's what I gotta do)
I gotta (but not now, ooh)

Baby, I'm cryin'
I'm, I'm cryin'
Oh
Gotta tell him the truth (that's what I gotta do)
(I know what I gotta do)
(Gotta tell him the truth)
I'm so scared (I know what I gotta do)
And I'm sittin' here all alone
(Gotta tell him the truth) and I want to tell you
Oh, what do I do? (What do I do?)
