Be Good Be True

And I saw

Everything I needed to

And I heard

Nothing that I wanted to

And everything you said to me,

Despite my doubts,

I tried to believe

You tell me when to run away

But then you leave me all alone again

What I felt back then

Isn't true tonight

And what you said to me

Doesn't make it right

So if I don't seem genuine to you

Then maybe you should try to

Be good, be true

And I said

Everything I should to you

And I kept

Quiet when I wanted to

(speak up, speak up)

But never will I have to bite

My tongue or fake a smile anymore

You tell me when to run away

But then you leave me all alone again

What I felt back then

Isn't true tonight

And what you said to me

Doesn't make it right

So if I don't seem genuine to you

Then maybe you should try to

Be good, be true

You left me standing there that night

A pen in hand I'd use to write

You a letter

That would be my voice that you refused to hear

So take these as my parting words

And sing to them my dear

What I felt back then

Isn't true tonight

And what you said to me

Doesn't make it right

So if I don't seem genuine to you

Then maybe you should try to

Be good, be true
