I’ve been stuck here in the middle Of the truth and feelin’ alright An abusive man can’t catch him with his hands He has a force of an eager mind So you lie for your baby So he got so many secrets to hide But you can’t do it for yourself now Ain’t that what bruises the pride
I was living Preserving your name All the time Leaving mine in shame And what you did will always remain
I’m still stuck in here in the middle Of the truth and an easy time Lord as he is it’s too hard to hear But I’m just trying to live my life When you can’t hide it anymore Just to keep them all feeling good The truth is so unpopular Almost worth enduring the hurt
I was living Preserving your name All the time Leaving mine in shame And what you did will always remain
He’ll say “if you love me then you’ll do it” And he’ll find ya if you got those daddy issues And if you kick my ass no one will ever have a clue Just look at you You look so strong baby Hey and you’ll always carry on Cause the show must go on No one will ever know Cause he got ya Ain’t that truly alone The long home Yes
