You gave me what I was hungry for
And got on with your life when I walked out the door
I'd eat my words to have you back if I thought I could
Cause the truth don't satisfy me like I thought it would

In fact it leaves me hollow with a bad taste in my mouth
It's hard for me to swallow tears won't wash it down
Knowing you don't want me back it's all that I can do
To keep from choking on the taste of the truth

So afraid that life was gonna pass me by
Needing you again had never crossed my mind
The freedom that I thought I couldn't live without
Has a lonely flavor I never knew about

In fact it leaves me hollow with a bad taste in my mouth
It's hard for me to swallow tears won't wash it down
Knowing you don't want me back it's all that I can do
To keep from choking on the taste of the truth

Knowing I can't have you back it's all that I can do
To keep from choking on the taste of the tr-uth
