Joan Hammel

Lyrics

I'm holdin' out hope
But hope ain't no friend of mine
It's let me down so many times before
I've heard lots of stories
Don't know what's true
But I know I gotta hear it from you

Chorus:
Give it to me straight
Don't muddy the water
I'm ready for the truth
Let me see
Give it to me straight
Don't muddy the water
I'm ready for the truth
Set me free

You say that you love me and
You want to be mine
But I see what your feeling
When I look in your eyes
Have you forsaken
The love that we shared?
Or was I mistaken to think that you cared?

Repeat chorus

You told me you loved me
You seemed so sincere
But don't tell me things
You think I want to hear
If you're trying not to hurt me
I think you should know
It's what you don't say
That hurts me so

Repeat chorus
