Can't Handle the Truth
JoJo Lyrics

You knew something was scandalous
You had a sense that there was something suspicious going on

You told me you could handle it
You claimed that you were capable of dealing with it

But if I told you everything you wouldn't believe me
However, if I reveal everything, you won't be able to trust or believe me

It’s someone that you met before
The person involved is someone you have met before

You even shook his hand at the door
In fact, you have greeted him before and even exchanged handshakes

It was last 4th of July when we got into that big fight
The incident in question occurred on Independence Day when we had a major argument

You seemed more concerned with the girls by the pool
At that time, you were more interested in the girls by the pool than paying attention to me

He held my conversation, something you don’t do
The person in question listened to me and held a conversation, which you have never done before

You left me vulnerable; so irresponsible
You behaved irresponsibly and left me exposed to the situation

Why are you confused?
I am wondering why you are feeling bewildered

If you could handle the truth I'd never lie to you
If you were able to cope with the truth, I would have never lied to you

If you did what you’re supposed to do I’d still be with you
If you had fulfilled your obligations, we would still be together

You’re so busy loving yourself there’s no room for anyone else (but the Truth is)
You are too engrossed in your self-love that you don't have any space for others, but the fact is

I would never lie never lie never lie
I would never ever fib, never repeat such a thing, absolutely never

But you don’t even try even try even try
but unfortunately, you don't make an effort to even try

I hate lying to you but you can’t handle the truth
I despise deceiving you, but you are incapable of facing the reality

I’m so fucking mad at you
I am extremely angry with you

Look at what you made me do
See what you have caused me to do

You turned a good girl so bad and it’s all your fault
You have transformed a decent girl into a bad one, and it's entirely your responsibility

But you couldn't give a little love
Yet you were unable to show a little affection to me

Your affection would have been enough
If you had shown a little love, that would have sufficed

But now I’m the one up in the club and I’m leaving my phone off
Nonetheless, now I'm partying hard, not answering my phone, living my life freely

Which brings me back to that day by the pool
Which reminds me of that day by the pool

He invited me out something you used to do
He invited me out; something you used to do

Wanted to tell you but deep down I knew
I wanted to tell you, but I knew deep down it would only cause problems

Your ego’s so big that it might leave you bruised
Your ego is too big, that it may result in you getting hurt

I just don't belong here
I don't feel like I belong here anymore
