All I Tell My Friends

Half the truth
That's all I tell my friends

I told them I was busy
When I let your phone call ring
Said the week was getting heavy
Like you didn't have your things
You had asked me where we stood
I had laughed and changed the subject
Now I call it bad timing
So I don't have to say I caused it

Half the truth
That's all I tell my friends
Half the truth
I still want you back again

I tell them say I don forget
But I still dey check your name
I say I no need anybody
Then I hope you feel the same
I write the message, no excuses
No story about who made me leave
Just the part I kept on hiding
And the answer I was scared to give

Half the truth
That's all I tell my friends
Half the truth
I still want you back again

You don't owe me another chance
Just because I finally spoke
You can leave the message where it is
I won't make your silence wrong

Half the truth
That's all I told my friends
Half the truth
I still want you back again

Half the truth
That's all I told my friends
Half the truth
I still want you back again

No more saying it was nothing
No more making you the blame
I sent the truth this evening
Your answer is your own
