Analysis of TELL ME THE TRUTH
Tell me the truth
Your silence
Is worse than you
Being cheating
Tell me the truth
I better hear and bear
Than you hide in deceit
With your sonorous voice
Tell me the truth
Before I find out
Your hide and seek
Before my roving eyes
Tell me the truth
Else you will bear the havoc
To trail you both
In no small measure
Tell me the truth
To quench my taste
Of the bombshell
Awaiting explosion
Tell me the truth
Enough of your mindless
Belittling extra affairs
Ruining our deep affection
